Public invited to open house at Nelson Fairview Gardens

September 17, 2025

People in Nelson and across the West Kootenay region are invited to have a sneak peek at the new Nelson Fairview Gardens on Friday, Sept. 19, 2025, from 1 to 2 p.m.

Hosted by Interior Health, the open house offers community members a first look at Nelson Fairview Gardens, the new long-term care building, before it officially opens to residents later in September. As well, Kootenay Kids Society will offer tours though the new childcare space, Fairview Early Learning Centre.

Staff will be on hand to answer questions and help direct visitors. Attendees are welcome to drop in at any time during the event. Free parking is available, and signage will guide guests to the main entrance of Nelson Fairview Gardens.

The Nelson Community Health Campus was thoughtfully designed with input from health-care professionals, partners, and community stakeholders to create a welcoming, inclusive space that reflects the needs of the region.

This open house offers a behind-the-scenes look at how bringing local health services together under one roof will enhance care, connection, and collaboration.

When: Friday, Sept. 19, 2025
Where: Nelson Fairview Gardens main lobby, 902 Eleventh Street, Nelson, B.C
Time: 1 to 2 p.m.

When it opens, Fairview Gardens will join Nelson Jubilee Manor and Mountain Lakes Seniors Community in offering 24-7 complex care and supports to seniors and other individuals who need these services.
