Sunrise Village is located in the Hastings-Sunrise neighbourhood. Formerly known as Alice Saunders House, Brightside has provided affordable housing for seniors at 2924 Venables Street since 1977. We are replacing 64 units that once made up Alice Saunders House with 146 new units of affordable, secured rental housing for independent-living seniors, families, and people with disabilities at the new Sunrise Village.
As part of Brightside’s efforts toward becoming a fully net-zero housing provider, Sunrise Village is being built to Passive House certification standards. Passive House is a standard for energy efficiency and yields a reduced carbon footprint. It results in ultra-low energy consumption buildings that require little energy for space heating and cooling.
As well as improving homes for residents of Sunrise Village to allow them to continue to age in place, Brightside is expanding the number of affordable homes on the site in an effort to support those who need affordable homes most, particularly independent-living seniors, families, and people with disabilities.
