Happy Spring from all of us here at the Lodge!

It is so wonderful to start seeing the nice weather outside, although a little windy, we are grateful for the sunshine and lack of snow falling! Our flowers in the activity room sure are enjoying the sunshine as they have started to bud beautiful flowers. Huge thanks to Edna for watering the plants. We are hoping to start planning and planting our community garden here at the lodge in the next few weeks.

Easter is just around the corner and we will be getting busy colouring eggs, and decorating the lodge, along with spring crafts and getting outside for walks and outdoor activities! As of now we are keeping busy with two exercise classes, three times a week, lots of card games, large crossword puzzles, dominos, shuffleboard and bingo. We have also been extremely fortunate to have Ralph and Marvel playing music for us three times a week!

We want to give a huge shoutout and thanks to the FCSS as they have been so generous in donating four new tablets to the residents. These tablets can be used for games, e-books, movies or even to Facetime family! If you would like to Facetime a family member call the lodge and ask for Sara to help set that up!

We hope everyone has had a beautiful start to the new season, and we want to thank everyone for keeping our residents safe. It is much appreciated!

Happy Spring everyone, stay safe and healthy!!
