News Briefs from the November 2020 Blue Water Rest Home Board Meeting…

Remembrance Day

We take a moment to honour, reflect, and remember those who have gave and continue to give, the ultimate sacrifice.  Lest we forget.

Virtual Family Christmas Dinner

As we look ahead to our Family Dinner, we recognize that our celebrations will look, and may even feel different this year.  We know that regardless of hos we celebrate, we are committed to providing experiences that are deeply routed in connecting residents and loved ones, while celebrating the joy of the season.  

Family Dinner will be done virtually this year.  Families of each resident can schedule a virtual meal, where they can connect and celebrate together with their loved one, while enjoying good food and conversation.  Residents and families will connect with the other, using video calling technology (eg. Skype or Facetime).  Pre-registration is required for our Virtual Family Dinner.  BWRH Christmas Pudding can be pre-ordered and purchased too.

For more information, to register for your virtual meal, or to order Christmas Pudding, please contact Chelsey Passmore, Outreach and Programs Manager at c.passmore@bluewaterresthome.com or 519-236-4373 x 631.

Tractor Donation

Blue Water Rest Home was the recipient of a generous donation from the Derik Whiting Foundation in January 2020 to be put towards property maintenance.  With this donation, a new tractor was purchased in October 2020.  We are extremely appreciative for this generous donation.
