Renovations underway, Maverick Manor to open in September
KAMLOOPS — A unique partnership between ASK Wellness, the City of Kamloops, B.C. Housing and other community groups is being unveiled, hoping to open to clients in the final stages of recovery in September.
“The Maverick is that place where people can actually enter into the workforce,” said Bob Hughes, executive director of ASK Wellness. “Get a sense of being in community, get a real solid start on their life, and returning back to a place where they have a job, have a good income.”
Renovations are already underway to the 42-room motel after the province bought the motel for $6.5 million in April. Gone will be the outdoor waterslide — recently sold to a Kamloops resident — replaced by a community kitchen.
