We had an amazing time connecting with everyone at the Chartwell Bowmanville Creek Residence Friendship Club. Thank you, Sharon Murphy, for organising this check and quilt presentation event.

Thank you to everyone who helped raise $500 in the 50/50 draw, and to residents of Georgette Gauvreau and Dorothy Sulpher for crafting and sharing such beautiful lap quilts. Your kindness and creativity bring so much joy to our community.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our dear board member, Leo Blindenbach, who bravely fought a long battle with cancer.

Leo spent his final days at Marigold Hospice Care, the very place he devoted so much time, passion, and heart to bringing to life. His dedication shaped our organization in profound ways, and his vision continues to guide us. Leo’s positive attitude and unwavering optimism lifted the spirits of everyone around him, even in the most challenging moments.

Leo championed the creation of the Hike or Bike for Marigold Hospice Care, inspiring our community to come together in support of compassionate end-of-life care. He also brought joy and visibility to Marigold by rallying volunteers and building our float for the community Santa Claus parades, efforts rooted in his belief in community connection and shared celebration.

His work in the community was recognized well beyond our walls: Leo received the Ontario Seniors Achievement Award in 2021 and a Paul Harris Fellowship Award in 2024, both celebrating his meaningful contributions.

Leo’s kindness, uplifting spirit, and unwavering commitment to community will be deeply missed. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all who were touched by his generosity.

May he rest in peace, knowing the incredible legacy he leaves behind.

Fun was had by all at the Bowmanville Santa Claus Parade and Newcastle Santa Parade last weekend! Our amazing team braved rain, thunder, lightning, and sleet in Bowmanville — and were greeted with snow in Newcastle.

We can’t wait to see you this Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at the Orono Santa Claus Parade. Come say hello and wave as we go by!

Today is National Grief and Bereavement Day in Canada — a time to remember, reflect, and support one another through all types of loss.
Grief can take many forms and affect each of us differently. Whether you are mourning a loved one or navigating another kind of loss, you are not alone.

Let’s continue to speak openly about grief and connect with the support and resources that help us heal.

At Marigold Hospice Care, we’re here to walk beside you with understanding and support.
