Activity Department Outings
Share Activity Department Outings on Facebook Share Activity Department Outings on Twitter Share Activity Department Outings on Linkedin Email Activity Department Outings linkThe Activity Department is excited to announce that our bus outings are underway! We had our first trip on Nov. 14th when residents ventured out for a country drive. There are more upcoming lunch trips and country drives planned for the remainder of the month. Please watch the activity calendars monthly for these events.
Volunteer support is an important aspect of being able to offer outings to our residents. If you or someone you know wish to volunteer on our outings or for programs offered in the home, please contact the Activity Department.
With the weather changing, it’s a great time for family members to bring in proper winter gear for residents to go out in the community. Hats, gloves, mitts, scarves, coats, and boots for your loved one would be appreciated if you feel that they might like to either go outside or go on an outing.

Share Ministry of Long-Term Care Implements Enhanced Masking as of November 6, 2023 on Facebook Share Ministry of Long-Term Care Implements Enhanced Masking as of November 6, 2023 on Twitter Share Ministry of Long-Term Care Implements Enhanced Masking as of November 6, 2023 on Linkedin Email Ministry of Long-Term Care Implements Enhanced Masking as of November 6, 2023 linkAll Long-Term Care homes in Ontario received notification that due to the recent trends showing a moderate to high level of community transmission of COVID-19 and an increase in COVID-19 outbreaks in home, with an increased risk of hospitalization amongst residents. We will be required to follow the masking guidelines below.
Based on the advice of the Chief Medical Officer of Health, the following enhanced masking measures for non-outbreak situations are being put into effect in LTCHs:
- Requiring staff, students, support workers, and volunteers to wear a mask when in resident areas indoors, and
- Strongly recommending visitors and caregivers to wear a mask in resident areas indoors except when with the resident in the resident’s room or when eating or drinking with a resident in communal spaces. If a resident in a shared room is uncomfortable with others removing their mask, homes are encouraged to designate a space to enable the roommate to have visitors without masking.
We will be implementing the following changes as of November 6, 2023.
