Delmanor Elgin Mills WOW's at the Santa Claus Parade

Oh what fun it was to participate in the Richmond Hill Santa Claus Parade!

The Delmanor bus was decorated to the theme of postcards and postage stamps and made a grand performance at the parade.  Delmanor Elgin Mills residents rode the streets of the Richmond Hill parade route and waved to on-lookers as the Delmanor bus passed by.

The community loved seeing the seniors as they waved their stuffed dolls and toys.  The fun and festive bus with the happy and jolly residents aboard brought the attention of even the youngest of the parade audience to the bus.

This happy day warmed the hearts of the Delmanor seniors and staff by witnessing all of the joy that the Delmanor bus brought to the parade.  The parade ushered in the holiday season while the seniors drank hot chocolate, ate cookies and sang along to the holiday music on board the bus.

The annual Santa Claus Parade is a wonderful reminder to all children and the young at heart of the special meaning of the season.  Delmanor Elgin Mills was happy to have taken part in in this fun and happy annual event.

Delmanor Northtown's "Be a Santa to a Senior" Gift Wrapping Event!

Each year 'Home Instead Senior Care' offices throughout North America spread holiday cheer to lonely or financially challenged seniors through the "Be a Santa to a Senior" program.

For the past four years, Delmanor Northtown has been proud to be involved in a program that has helped provide 1.2 million gifts to more than 70,000 seniors.




Delmanor Northtown hosted the annual gift wrapping event where kind volunteers wrap the presents that are distributed to seniors within the community.

Often we only think of gifts for children during the holiday season.  An event such as this reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas and of the many deserving seniors that would go without over the holidays if it weren't for this wonderful group of volunteers and organizers.





The residents at Delmanor Northtown were overjoyed to assist in this annual event and to give back during the holidays.
