Fairhaven has AMAZING volunteers! Volunteers are valued for their selfless service which makes a daily difference throughout our community. We had the honor to recognize the 75+ volunteers and thank them for giving generously of their time and talents. These wonderful individuals were invited to a special prepared meal, gifted with a small party favor, and treated with a cupcake from Wicked Sweets by Kate. This year’s volunteer recognition was themed “You are an ESSENTIAL piece”.
E- is for Extraordinary
S- is for Supportive
S – is for Sacrifice
E – is for Empathy
N – is for Noble-Minded
T – is for Time
I – is for Inspirational
A – is for Admirable
L – is for Loving

Our Volunteers are truly an ESSENTIAL piece to Fairhaven. Thank you for all you do!
Next week’s “News Now” will offer more details on our recognition luncheon. If you are not signed up and are interested, please visit our website at www.fairhaven.cc.

L-O-V-E
Valentine’s day was celebrated in various ways at Fairhaven. First, a few of our residents sold candy and flowers so staff and residents could spread love to each other, as well as family and friends. Additionally, 21 couples enjoyed a special Valentine’s lunch experience. Last, a carnation donated by Roscoe Chiropratic Centre was delivered to each resident.

Hoping you had a blessed Christmas!
Fairhaven paused to remember and celebrate the true reason for the season at our Christmas service. There was a multitude of special music during the program. The Fairhaven choir performed three prepared songs, with Sue Bleed soloing in one of the song choices. Deb Kniep wowed us with a solo singing “Mary Did You Know”. A small brass band, mostly consisting of Fairhaven residents, helped provide music as everyone gathered and dismissed. Pastor Steve shared beautiful thoughts to prepare our hearts around the Christmas message.
Chris (assistant administrator) and Joe (new CEO) went around to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas. Joe was an amazing Santa while Chris passed out candy canes to residents.
Wishing family & friends blessings for 2026!

People laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile… there’s a feeling of Christmas.
There has been so much happening we can’t capture it all… caroling groups, special Christmas dinners, Christmas tree walk, family movie night showing It’s a Wonderful Life, and so much more.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…
It was wonderful to see so many residents, family members, and staff as some of the 30 vendors at the Hollyberry Bazaar on Friday, December 5th. With plenty of items to view or purchase and plenty of cookies and coffee to enjoy, what isn’t there to like about this event.
