GOAL

OUR COMMUNITY STAND ALONG SIDE AYLMER ARMS:

Following the fire which seriously damaged the Aylmer Arms apartments, let us show solidarity. 

On the night of June 29 to 30, the Aylmer Arms building, which contains 101 affordable housing units for low income people aged 55, was seriously damaged by fire. Around thirty residents are currently temporarily relocated. Smoke, soot and water left damage throughout the building. 

We have mobilized our resources since the disaster to ensure the safety of residents and minimize damage. The reconstruction and decontamination of housing represents considerable financial challenges given that a large number of residents were not insured. 

The Aylmer Arms Appartments does not benefit from any government subsidies. The average rent is $700/month, including heating, lighting and basic furniture (fridge and stove). 

We are reaching out to you today because we depend on your immediate financial support. We estimate that the cost of the necessary work for the uninsured will be approximately $350,000. 

This amount will be used to carry out the decontamination work, as well as the disposal and storage of goods during the work. 

We will do everything to enable the residents of the Aylmer Arms Apartments to return to their homes, their friends, their routine and above all, their community.

Let’s show our solidarity with the Aylmer Arms Apartments and their residents.
