Villa Saint-Joseph du Lac

Villa Saint-Joseph du Lac Villa Saint-Joseph du Lac (Villa St Joseph for short) is a 79-bed long term care facility located in Dayton, Nova Scotia. It continued in operation until 1960.

In the early 1930's, the Canadian Pacific Railroad Company built the Lakeside Inn on the site. On April 1, 1960, the Congregation (Les Religieuses Hospitalieres de Saint- Joseph) bought Lakeside Inn that had been up for sale by the Canadian Pacific Company at a very good price, with the condition that the property be used exclusively as a hospital, a home for the aged, a religious education institution, or similar work. Today, Villa Saint-Joseph du Lac operates as a provincially funded, not-for-profit facility with an operating capacity of 79 residents. After 55 years of residing in the former Lakeside Hotel, the new Villa opened its doors on July 4, 2015. The new building is a two story construction containing 79 private rooms divided into 6 separate villas under one roof.

Honoring Remembrance Day began last week as we gathered together to make poppy wreaths with our residents.
This morning, we held a quiet in-house service, sharing memories, stories, and gratitude for those who have fought and died for our country.
This afternoon, we took a gentle drive to the cenotaph, giving everyone a moment to reflect and share respects.

“At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.”

105ft long outdoor mural at Villa St. Joseph-Du-Lac in Yarmouth, NS. This mural was commissioned to give the residents a serene, peaceful scene to look at instead of a brick wall! I’m grateful to have been asked to do it, and happy to provide them with a bit of brightness and joy!

A huge Thank You to everyone who came out to our Haunted House Fundraiser!
Your screams, laughter, and spooky spirit made it an unforgettable event!

We’re so grateful for the incredible volunteers and staff who helped bring the chills and thrills to life. From setup to scare crew, to cleanup, you made the magic (and the mayhem) happen.

Because of your support, we not only shared some scares but also raised funds that go right back into our community. ❤️

Until next year… keep the lights on, and watch where you step. 👀

Happy Hauntings!
