This is Ed, one of our residents at The Bentley Yorkton. In his younger years, Ed played university football in Regina before eventually moving to Yorkton. In 1958, the Yorkton Regina High School football team advanced to the Championship Finals, but faced one significant challenge: they had no equipment.

Drawing on his connections in Regina, Ed was able to secure a full set of used gear from the Roughriders, ensuring the high school team could take the field. The leather helmet he’s holding is a cherished memento from that remarkable year.

Along with fellow residents, Ed watched the Roughriders take home the Grey Cup this past weekend.

What an unforgettable day at Sharon Corners Retirement Residence!

They were thrilled to welcome East Gwillimbury hometown hero, Sam Bennett of the Florida Panthers, fresh off his Stanley Cup victory. Residents and team members alike were overjoyed to meet Sam, celebrate his incredible achievement, and even get up close with hockey’s most coveted prize.

A huge thank you to Sam for bringing not just the Cup, but also his warmth, generosity and community spirit to our home. These memories will be treasured forever.
