Come out and have fun.&#8221; Approximately 100 paddlers participated in 2015, many of whom were returning for at least the second time.<\/p>\n<p>The 4th annual Paddle for Fairvern aims to raise another $30,000 to $40,000 to add to the more than $100,000 already raised in the past three years. Funds raised will go toward the redevelopment of Fairvern.<\/p>\n[The 67-year-old former Huntsville hospital building no longer meets Ministry standards and its time is ticking. The not-for-profit long-term care home has been classed as a C facility, one up from becoming a D, which means you either redevelop in some form or risk getting shut down.
