On March 21st a celebration was held at the CND Health Care Center, in honour of the 104th birthday of Sr. Catherine MacPhee. Health care coordinator, JoAnn McLean began the celebration with a tribute to Sr. Catherine and entertainment was provided by Sr. Elaine Hawrylak. Sr. Theresa Sampson sang Sr. Catherine another verse of Happy Birthday, which we all thoroughly enjoyed. The celebration was well attended by sisters throughout the area. Sr. Catherine is looking forward to celebrating her 105th!
Recently, at our residence, we had a presentation about plastics. Carl Duivenvoorden is a devoted environmentalist, the first Canadian volunteer to be trained by Al Gore. Carl has a special gift for speaking clearly on serious issues, in positive nonjudgmental or threatening ways. And he lives his message. Carl came with show-and-tell containers and materials, and facts.
