Father Lacombe Care Centre Foundation

A private dinner was held last night for some special residents at Providence Care Centre. Lucky guests! Food looks yummy!

Our Bar-B-Q Fundraiser held last Sunday was a success! The rain stayed away and our guests enjoyed a great afternoon. Many thanks to those that helps out . . . staff, volunteers, especially FIsh Creek Rotary, Aramark and Maintenance, the Sisters of Providence, and the Donors (London Drugs, Deerfoot Carpet & Flooring, Tuly U to name a few) and Sponsors (Calgary Landscape, Sisters of Charity of Saint-Louis, Sunset Memorial & Stone, Respiratory Home Care Solutions, Coop Home Health Care, and Les & Katalin Kiss). The funds raised will help with dining room enhancements (wheelchair accessible tables) for Father Lacombe Care Centre. Here are a few pictures of the day!

Our residents are truly enjoying this nice weather and the new Healing Garden.

Here are a few of our drummers from PCC!

Residents at both Father Lacombe and Providence Care Centres enjoy drum circles!

Well, after two years of fundraising, we held the Grand Opening of the Healing Garden! Thank you for all the support, thank you to Tim from Tranquil Gardens for his blood (only cuts), sweat, tears (both from the heat the last few days) and labour of love (during the whole project). We are delighted that the residents now have a beautiful garden to go out and enjoy! Thank you to Val for your vision of the Garden. Enjoy all!
