22 affordable new homes for seniors are coming to Bowser. Construction is expected to occur in the coming months, with a projected completion date early in 2026, according to a news release by Bowser Seniors Housing Society (BSHS).

Thirty per cent will be rental homes for people with moderate incomes, according to BC Housing.
