Creek Side Apartment Condominiums are made up with one 38 unit and two 46 unit buildings. They are located on the old Gainer’s meat packing plant site at 96 street and 79 avenue. The building contractor is Christenson Development Ltd. They have been in the construction business for many years. There are also 40 townhouses built on the site. Construction on the project began in the summer of 1996. The townhouses were started first. Construction of the apartment condominium started in January 1997 with projected completion in August 1997. The second building was started in the spring of 1998 and the third completed in 2000.
The Creekside Support Service program was developed in the spring of 1997. Because there was no existing entity called Creekside Support Service Program, the group who designed the program convinced the Abby Road Co-Op members to allow funding for the Creekside support service project to go through their bank account. An agreement with the Edmonton Region Capital Health Authority to fund the Creekside program through this arrangement was agreed to. This allowed the Creek Side program to start smoothly with funding that met the budget developed by the Creek Side users. This manner of funding was in existence until February 1, 1999 when Creekside Support Services Ltd. obtained a contract from the Capital Health Authority to manage the program.
