Investigators said the fire began on the building’s seventh floor, but have not discussed a specific cause. The fire marshal’s office is investigating.

Other residents were removed from the building and take to a nearby community centre.

NOTE: Previous versions of this story identified the building as a seniors home. Global News has confirmed Fairy Lake Gardens is solely an apartment complex reportedly with many senior citizen residents.
