Delmanor Wynford Takes a Fishing Trip

A group of Delmanor Wynford gentlemen, passionate about fishing, ventured off for a Mens Fishing trip at Burd's Family Fishing in Stouffville.

The resident fishermen were joined by Delmanor Wynford Environmental Manager Jamie Donaldson.  The wonderful afternoon of rainbow trout fishing was in a great park-line setting that consisted of 2 half acre ponds fed by a natural artisan spring that was situated on 6 acres of countryside.

There was no need for tall tales since the seniors caught four 4 1/2-5 lb rainbow trout that were later filleted and BBQ'd on the rooftop terrace at Delmanor Wynford by Jamie Donaldson.

Jamie shared his secret recipe of lemons, limes, lemon pepper, garlic, chives and spring onions wrapped in foil that resulted in a delicious lunch for the fishermen and residents alike.

Delmanor Northtown Residents Enjoy a Day on Centre Island

For many of the seniors of Delmanor Northtown, a trip to Toronto's Centre Island has always been a favourite summertime day trip with family and friends for years.  The residents enjoyed a picnic lunch by the water and spent time exploring the many areas of the island's parks, gardens and even the petting farm, before catching the ferry back to the city.

A day by the water was enjoyed by all who came along, and the weather couldn't have been better as time was enjoyed with friends on the island.

For some, the ferry ride across the lake was a highlight, and for others, the highlight may have been the ice cream, but all in all, it was a great day!
