Caribana Fun Comes to Delmanor Wynford

Not even a rainy day could keep the colourful decorations and vibrant Caribbean fun from the residents and staff of Delmanor Wynford.

Many of the seniors and staff decorated their own colourful headpieces for the Caribbean festival, while staff members were adorned in costumes from Toronto's Caribbean Carnival & Trinidad and Tobago Carnival.

Ashley Smith and Head Concierge, Sophia Beecher.

The Executive Chefs at Delmanor Wynford prepared a wonderful Caribbean themed BBQ lunch that was enjoyed in the Donalda Dining Room due to the inclement weather.  That didn't stop everyone from celebrating and enjoying the jerk chicken, jerk hamburgers with plantain chips, mango salad and mango ice cream with fruit skewers.

adorned in their beautiful hand-crafted headpieces.

Following lunch, residents were treated to the sounds of the islands with Triple Play Pan Trio that consisted of steel pan, soca and reggae music.  Residents and staff were dancing to the island music and having a wonderful time.

Everyone who attended the Caribana festival at Delmanor Wynford had a wonderful time.  The island flavours and sounds combined with the magnificent costumes were more than enough to forget the rainy weather outside and instead be transported to the sunny Caribbean.
