Caleb pulls the plug on Moosomin project
Caleb Group has decided to cancel planning for its Caleb Village Moosomin project because it hasn’t sold enough units to make it viable.
That was the news reported in an article on 10 May 2010 from Moosomin’s own The World-Spectator - Read the full article here
The EyeOnCaleb team is eager to learn more about this turn of events, especially as the facility that the Caleb Group planned for Moosomin, SK is modeled after their Pilot ‘Caleb Village’ - the same one with the reportedly high staff turnover and vacancy rates - in Kindersley, SK.
In The World-Spectator article, Caleb Group Chair Darrell Remai is reported to have stated in a letter to Moosomin’s Mayor Don Bradley
“We wish to advise that, as a result of insufficient commitments, we will no longer be pursuing the development of a Caleb Village for Moosomin,”
It would appear that the Caleb Group fell short of it’s goal to attract enough cash money interest from the Hard Working Senior Citizens of Moosomin to warrant them investing in small town Saskatchewan.

Last week was a busy one for the Eye On Caleb Team. Our Crews visited Weyburn and Moosomin, planned future sites for Caleb Extended Care Villages like the one that has experienced an estimated 95% staff turnover rate in Kindersley. While there they had the opportunity to distribute flyers to the public and tell Val’s story at Senior Citizens Centers, local chapters of the Canadian Legion and with Civic Officials at Town Hall. They also took time to meet with the Editors of the Weyburn Review and the Moosomin World-Spectator.
