This year’s ball raised over $700,000 for the Hospital, with silent and live auctions being very popular. The elegant evening, catered by Michael Bonacini of the Oliver and Bonacini Restaurants, left all who attended tremendously grateful for the lovely opportunity to support their local hospital.

Delmanor Elgin Mills Santa Claus Parade

Residents Bernie Mitchell and Jean Billings bundled up on the bus

Delmanor Elgin Mills brought some nostalgia to the Richmond Hill Santa Claus Parade on November 14th with an "Old Tyme Christmas" bus that was decorated with festive embellishments. Twelve residents and three staff braved the chilly temperatures on the four kilometer parade route, all in the joy of the season. There was plenty of festive cheer as

Delmanor Glen Abbey Honours our Veterans

Delmanor Glen Abbey has honoured our Canadian War Veterans with a recent event that brought the retirement community together to give thanks.

On November 1st the Oakville Convention Centre housed and catered a special veterans lunch that was hosted by Medichair Halton's Kristin & David Courtney. This was the 9th annual event that brought together over 750 veterans and their spouses including 10 of Delmanor Glen Abbey's very own resident veterans. Delmanor felt very privileged to be attending and sponsoring this very meaningful day.

The memorial luncheon was attended by former CTV Weatherman Dave Duvall, that spoke in honour of veterans, past and present. He was joined by retired hockey player Paul Henderson that said Grace for the attendees. Kristen & David were invited to Ottawa by the Govenor General for lunch to thank them for their commitment to our war veterans. It was a very proud day for all of the seniors who attended and the younger generations that were privileged to share in this special day.

Read for the Cure

Delmanor Seniors Communities is proud to support Read for the Cure. This fundraising initiative began in 2006, when two members of a west Toronto book club, who had just finished treatment for cancer, had a great idea. Acknowledging the important role of reading in their lives, and the wonderful support they had received from their fellow members during their treatment, they saw an opportunity to harness the energy of enthusiastic book clubs and readers to raise funds for cancer research. With two other book club members who had close family

members affected by cancer, they formed a committee of four. Together they developed a vision of ways to bring readers and writers together for a wonderful evening, while raising funds for cancer research.

Since then, with the help of Random House of Canada, they have hosted three annual series of Author Events in October and November. Delmanor is a proud gold sponsor for their 2010 events.
