Our residents enjoy many activities at the Simkin Centre. Our Therapeutic Recreation Department coordinates outings at least once a month (sometimes more) so that residents can get out and enjoy different food and surroundings. Last summer, a group of residents went to “529 Wellington” (pictured below)

This week, residents enjoyed a picnic in the Weinberg Garden. The weather was perfect for a picnic. Sandwiches, chips, fruit and beverages were served. Not pictured were to two rabbits that hopped across the grass. Nature was showing off that day. (pictures posted with permission)


We’d like to introduce you to Marilyn Abosh. She assists our Therapeutic Recreation Department with her lovely painting abilities. She spends approximately 3 hours per week painting displays for the Department’s programs. Marilyn takes pride in her work and enjoys the recognition she receives from fellow residents, families, visitors and staff. Below, Marilyn stands by two pieces she painted for the Queen’s Birthday Celebration.


Our male residents had a blast today at the Father’s Day Fish Fry. The event brought back memories of fishing and sipping some beer by the lake. (picture posted with permission)
