Culinary Quote of the Month “Good food is all the sweeter when shared with good friends.” -Author Unknown Anna Prendergast Director of Dietary Services & Chris Zouzal Retirement Dietary Supervisor Kensington Village Retirement/Nursing Home Spring has sprung and construction is almost done!!! Until construction is over, please continue to follow the signs to the rear entrance of the building(if accessing the nursing home). With the snow gone, there are some areas of landscaping that has been affected. We have contracted a new landscape provider to help us beautify our outdoor spaces. New outdoor furniture has been ordered to help us enjoy some our new courtyards. Again, if you have any comments or questions please feel free to contact me through the front office. Any questions, please call: Leslie DuCharme @ 519-455-3910 ext-255 Any questions regarding the construction please call: Amy Schlegel @ 519-476-8088 When the ground hog casts his shadow And the small birds sing And the pussy willows happen And the sun shines warm And when the peeps peep Then it is Spring” Margaret Wise Brown **There will be a LTC Family Council Lunch Meeting April 25th 2016.** From Administration Spring is upon us and we are hoping the dark and rainy weather of March leads to sunny and warm days. As the weather gets nice we will be starting our outdoor walks again. Just a reminder to go slowly when coming in and out of the parking lot and watch for Residents as they enjoy the warm days ahead.
