Plans to build new Larga Baffin residence in Ottawa paused – Nunatsiaq News

City staff determining how application can be modified, says councillor

An application from Larga Baffin to build a new 220-room residential care facility in Ottawa has been paused to let developers consider feedback from the community.

Larga Baffin is a boarding home that provides community and medical care for Nunavummiut while they seek health treatment in Ottawa. The organization had submitted an official plan and zoning bylaw amendment in November to build a new residence on Hunt Club Road to accommodate the increased demand for its services.
