Our History

Official Opening

***Click on the images to view a larger picture***

The first U-shaped lodge was built in 1960 on this five-acre site.

It was a unique design that enabled residents to have a view and be able to access a landscaped central courtyard.

The original building had a kitchen, dining room, library and matron’s suite.

Cypress View Foundation is a non-profit seniors housing facility designed for low to moderate income seniors that are 65 years and older.

Changes Over the Years

The Wild Rose Lodge was officially opened on December 16, 1970.

The new concept of housing was meant to provide a more pleasant grounds area with a less institutional atmosphere.

The Teeoda apartments were opened in 1977.

The building was financed by the Provincial Government as part of its program to provide affordable seniors housing.

More Recently

Over the years many changes were made to Cypress View and on September 16, 1992 the newly renovated Cypress View Wing was opened.

In February 2007 work began on the new Supportive living wing.

These 40 units would provide a higher level of care for residents and allow them to stay longer at the Cypress View Foundation.

The Sunrise Vista Wing was opened in 2009.
