Manor Musings

It's been a busy winter at Tiverton Park Manor. The addition is almost done and staff and residents are looking forward to the grand opening July 4.
Welcome to two new residents, Aaron Zehr of Tiverton and Mildred Wells of Port Elgin. Also, welcome to two new employees, Earla Minor and Linda Macdonald, our new cooks, filling the shoes of Ron King who moved to Kapaskasing.

A big thanks you to the Tiverton Lions Club for donating a Nintendo Wii game to the residents. Everyone is having fun with that. Also thanks to Ross Young Bus Lines for coming out every Sunday and taking the residents to church. They look forward to this and appreciate it very much.
