On
Friday, November 13th 2015,
the world was forever changed by the violent attacks on the beautiful
city of Paris, France. Just like the entire world, the community of Delmanor Northtown was shaken by this event. Instead of giving in to the fear and
anger that followed, residents and team members decided to pay a tribute to the citizens of France with their own “L’hymne à l’amour”.
The day began with a
peaceful hymn that touched the hearts of the residents. Team members and visitors
wore blue, white and red, along with an "I Love Paris" pin to show their solidarity.
In
the afternoon, Trio Gratoro performed their Tribute to Paris concert. Each
and every note played was dedicated to those whose lives have forever been
changed by these devastating acts. The letter from Antoine Leiris to the terrorists was read to the audience and the room
was filled with hope, love and tears.
The tribute solidified the intention for the day: as a
community, Delmanor Northtown supports our French cousins, and they send their
love and prayers across the vast miles that separate them.
It was an incredible day for everyone. Love, peace and hope shone in all of the residents' hearts. Together, as
a community, the Delmanor Northtown residents did not only feel connected to each other, but also to the world
around them.
