Restoration of Turner House starting at Clayburn Park

ABBOTSFORD — The City of Abbotsford and the Heritage Abbotsford Society are restoring the 145-year-old Turner House into a historic Clayburn Park facility.

Abbotsford Mayor Henry Braun called the partnership between the Heritage Abbotsford Society and Turner House a “huge win-win” for the community.

“Council and the City of Abbotsford look forward to seeing Turner House being restored and becoming a valuable part of Clayburn Park and the Old Clayburn neighbourhood,” he emphasized.

The Heritage Abbotsford Society received $163,000 in funding from Heritage BC to start the project through the Community Economic Recovery Infrastructure Program (CERIP). The society will continue to apply for grants and work with private donors who have expressed interest in the project in order to complete the restoration work.
