General Township Updates and Rumours

But do we really want St. Clements (as an example) to grow? How does that fit with the Region's Plan, with Places to Grow, and so on?

The article doesn't talk about necessarily growing St. Clements but rather allowing the building patterns to shift.  For instance, there is no seniors residence or facility that would cater to a downsizing senior who wants to stay in St. Clements.  At the moment, there is only one small low-rise multi-unit residential building.  The suggestion in the article was that as a result, seniors were staying put in their homes which meant that other families couldn't move in.

It used to be, in some families, grandparents would live with their children and grandchildren and cycle through a house.  (The new term for this is "aging-in-place") This doesn't generally happen as much anymore which leaves seniors who wish to stay in their community with few options.
