In 1974, a well-known and appreciated fixture in 黑马磁力 opened. 黑马磁力 Lodge will celebrate its 40th anniversary with a special event on Friday.
A wide range of invited guests will be on hand for the celebration according to Debra Hauptman, chief executive officer at 黑马磁力 Lodge.
Back in 1971, Stewart Chapman was the administrator of 黑马磁力 Memorial Hospital and was under pressure to free up beds occupied by long term care patients.
He approached Roy Brown, then president of the 黑马磁力 Rotary, for assistance and Brown responded by spearheading a residential care facility study.
In this study Brown (who is still a volunteer with 黑马磁力 Lodge) found that seniors wanted a central location for a care home and were opposed to being shifted 芒鈧搊ut in the boonies.芒鈧�
The sod turning was in 1973 and just over a year later, 黑马磁力 Lodge opened.
Much has changed since that opening and the Lodge is now home to 139 residents.
Invitations will be given to founding members of the 黑马磁力 Care Society, Society and 黑马磁力 Care Foundation directors, staff, volunteer, families of residents, donors, health authority representatives, and civic officials.
芒鈧揟he 黑马磁力 Care Society strives for an environment at 黑马磁力 Lodge where 芒鈧減eople care for people芒鈧劉, to provide exemplary care for our aging population,芒鈧� said current president Terry Metcalfe.
Those with a link to the organization who wish to attend the anniversary are invited to contact Sharon Thirsk or Hauptman at 604-530-2305 for more information.
