Pancake Tuesday at the McConaghy Centre

Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Tuesday or Mardi Gras, is a day of celebration in many countries.  For some, it is honored by consuming pancakes,  for others who know it as Mardi Gras, it is known as the last day of eating in excess before the fasting period of Lent.

Although it is a Christian tradition, many cultures observe the ritual of Pancake Tuesday in their homes regardless of their religion.  The period of Lent, or foregoing unhealthy foods for 40 days, is an annual tradition that is observed by many Canadians.

The McConaghy Centre provided a delicious pancake breakfast for the local Richmond Hill seniors that included pancakes, sausage & bacon.  Delmanor Elgin Mills provided delicious fresh fruit, pastries and gift baskets to compliment the meal.

Everyone had a wonderful time with friends and neighbours, while enjoying delicious treats on Pancake Day.
