Today, let us remember and cherish the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice, ensuring that our nation remains a land of the free. Let us carry their spirit forward in our hearts. May we strive to build a world worthy of their bravery, filled with peace and compassion.🌹

This week, in observation of Remembrance Day, we have several activities planned in our programs. These include poppy arts and crafts, historical discussions about Remembrance Day, and sharing stories and mementos from individuals with veterans in their families.

Sarah, Manager of Adult Day Programs, holds a ‘greatcoat’ that belonged to her late father while he was in the Navy during the World War. Sarah told stories and shared old photographs of her father from when he served in the Navy.
