Summary
At the invitation of the Ministry of Francophone Affairs (MFA), Bendale Acres is seeking partial designation under the French Language Services Act. To date, the long-term care home has submitted the application for designation of the Pavillon Omer Deslauriers, a 37-bed French language services section in the home, to the Central East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN). It is expected that once the LHIN confirms the submission meets the pre-defined designation criteria, it will be forwarded to the MFA and the Ministry of Health (MOH), French Language Services Office.
