As a result, S.P.I.K.E.(Supporting Peoples' Independence, Knowledge and Empowerment) was incorporated July 14, 1978 under the laws of the Province of Manitoba, to act as the operational body to proceed to renovate and operate the property to provide the needed care facility. Accordingly, after considerable expense, paid for by combination of grants from Government and private organization and public donations, the House became operational June 30, 1979 .
The property is now popularly known as S.P.I.K.E. House and is operated as a medium care home on a year-round basis to provide some permanent and respite care to the mentally and/or physically handicapped.
