Simcoe Terrace Retirement Residence

Message from the GM

“In the spring I have counted one hundred and thirty-six different kinds of weather inside of four and twenty hours.” ~Mark Twain

Winter appears to finally be behind us, so let’s celebrate by enjoying the fresh air.

May is shaping up to be a very busy month packed with interesting things to do.

Mother’s Day is May 8th and coincidentally that is also that start of National “Nurse’s Week” when we celebrate those amazing men and women who have chosen this profession. Take a moment to thank a Nurse for all they do for us.

The rest of the month’s events are inside the calendar including our first BBQ on May 19th.

Have a Wonderful month,

Michael Ayers,

Welcome to the Terrace!

Highlights of the Month

Pie for Parkinson’s Fundraiser!

Join us on Wednesday, May 18th at 2:00pm for our Pie for Parkinson’s Fundraiser!

We will be serving coffee, tea and also selling big heavenly slices of home baked pie! Each piece will be $4.00, with 100% of proceeds going to Parkinson’s Canada!

We welcome two special guests; Karen, entertaining us with her acoustic guitar and beautiful voice, and Parkinson’s Canada Guest Speaker Anna MacNamara.
