OUR HISTORY

In the early 1970's, the Saint John Simonds Lions Club envisioned a flexible living and care facility for Saint John seniors. Determined to realize this dream, they became knowledgeable about other facilities, and began to design the ideal environment for seniors requiring long-term care. Funding and support were secured from the federal and provincial governments, and in 1973 Loch Lomond Villa opened its doors. The official Sod Turning Ceremony was held Saturday, November 20th, 1971 at 2:30 p.m. the beginning of the dream. The official Opening Ceremony was held Friday, October 12th, 1973.
