Robbie Burns Day Celebration at Delmanor Elgin Mills

Residents of Delmanor Elgin Mills and guests from the Richmond Hill community spent an entire afternoon dancing, singing and feasting as the retirement residence celebrated Robbie Burns Day.

The celebration featured a bag piper and traditional Scottish country dancers, the "Celtic Connections".

The menu included fresh baked biscuits, shortbread cookies and of course, Scottish haggis.

The guests enjoyed the traditional "address to the haggis" as it was paraded throughout the dining room and then sliced with a dagger!

Everyone in attendance had a wonderful time celebrating the life and times of the famous poet.
