"The City of Saskatoon is very proud to support affordable housing projects like Juniper Manor," Saskatoon Mayor Donald Atchison said. "Not only will Juniper Manor provide much needed low-cost housing for seniors by utilizing a once-vacant site in the revitalizing Riversdale neighbourhood but it also helps to ensure citizens have a home in our growing, thriving city now, and into the future."
