Channel House

Today, the Minister of Public Works, Lt. Col. the Hon. David A. Burch, OBE (Mil), ED, JP, MP, and the Minister of Youth, Social Development and Seniors, the Hon. Tinee Furbert, JP, MP, held a media briefing on the Channel House building.

Good day Bermuda,

I am delighted to join you today and extend my heartfelt gratitude to my colleague, the Honourable David Burch, Minister of Public Works, and Mr. Andrew Dias, the General Manager of Bermuda Land Development Company.

Your unwavering dedication to this project in support of our seniors exemplifies a shared commitment to our community's welfare.

At the Ministry of Youth, Social Development, and Seniors, we remain committed to doing the necessary work to develop Bermuda’s National Seniors Strategy.

The opportunity for conversion of Channel House into a Seniors Residential Living Facility marks a significant milestone in our collective journey toward providing for Bermuda's aging population.

This initiative signifies not just a physical transformation but a commitment to ensuring housing options remain for our seniors.

Together, we are paving the way for a future where seniors in Bermuda can be supported and recognized as an important part of an inclusive community.

Thank you.
