We hope this is a very special holiday season for you and your loved ones. This year more than ever we are grateful to have us all healthy and safe. You have played a key role in this through your support and cooperation, and we can’t thank you enough.

While this past year has been one of constant change and uncertainty. We’ve all had to compromise, sacrifice, and learn to deal with the unknown. Your acts of hope, strength, optimism, positivity, kindness, and unfaltering perseverance are truly inspiring.

That’s also why I’m so grateful one thing has remained constant: the exceptional above-and-beyond care provided by St. Michael’s staff and volunteers.

As I reflect back on 2021, I want to acknowledge how amazing each one of our employees and their family members has performed in the face of adversity this past year. We have a lot to be proud of and are continually evolving, growing, and finding better and more creative ways to provide the best care for those seniors who call St. Michael’s home.

This year, as we gather to celebrate the holiday season, it is our hope you and your family are comforted in knowing you can count on St. Michael’s to provide the care and love they deserve.

There’s something special at St. Michael’s that allows us to keep moving forward. By working together, we can continue to provide the best and safest care for seniors in your community.

Every donation is valued and will be put to immediate good use. We’re excited to announce with this year’s Christmas campaign your donation will go towards the Creative Art Company mural project. A program developed to provide a person-centered care environment that enhances residents’ day-to-day living and quality of life. Through the project, a series of therapeutic murals, decals, and paintings are installed throughout the Care Centre to encourage residents to recreate experiences and memories from their past.

I truly hope you will join me in offering your heartfelt support today!

From our family to yours, Merry Christmas! We hope you and your family will be able to embrace peace, love, and happiness this holiday season and carry those feelings into the New Year, and may the New Year find you happy, healthy, and hopeful.

Best wishes for a very happy and healthy holiday season!
