Last November, after poppy collection boxes were stolen from a Fredericton shopping centre, New England Pizza Company rallied the community to raise an amazing $37,600 for the Royal Canadian Legion through their online ordering platform, just in time for Remembrance Day.

The story reached our residents at Paradise Villa through their hairdresser, who had donated to the fund. Inspired, a group of residents chipped in with a donation of their own and received a special shout-out from the pizza company, which very generously added a playful button to its ordering system labelled: “Buy the Seniors a Pizza Because They’re Nicer Than Us.”

Thank you to New England Pizza Company and everyone who helped make this pizza party possible. What a feel-good way to start the year with our community! 💙

Join a band and have bandmates for life!

One of Mahone Bay Nursing Home's very talented residents, Brian Smeltzer, recently reconnected with his former bandmates, Danny Banfield, Howard McLean, Ken Ingram, and Terry Saunders for a special jam session.

The band, once known as Nebulon and later as Luv Handles, reunited to see if they still had it, and they certainly did, playing some favourite tunes from their set lists of the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Thanks for stopping by, guys! 🎶

Meet Dan Munro, a founding member of the Pictou County Artists Association and the Artists Guild of Young Art, and a true inspiration at Shiretown Nursing Home. 🎨

When Dan moved to Shiretown, he faced challenges with mobility and painting. With the support of physiotherapy, he regained his dexterity and improved his ability to walk, allowing him to return to the art he loves.

Since then, Dan and his friends have hosted painting classes for his fellow residents, encouraging others to explore their creativity. At Shiretown's Fall Craft Fair, Dan sold his artwork and generously donated half of the proceeds to support the recreation program.

This holiday season, we challenged our teams to create a wreath representing their home or department, using (mostly) only supplies already on hand.

From medical equipment to recycled coffee pods, our teams flexed their creative muscles to produce 19 wreaths.

We'd like to thank every team that participated and helped to make this challenge such a fun and festive way to celebrate the season together! 💙🎄
