Fulford Residence to cease operations - March 2021 letter to families
On this March 11, 2021, the National Day of Observance for COVID, we honour the lives of ten cherished Fulford ladies, Elizabeth Kennedy, Catherine McKenty, Jean Snow, Patricia Drummond, Shirley Ramkisoon, Norma Johnston, Olive Anich, Madeleine Sofia, Luce Giannola and Joyce Fife and we pay tribute to all dedicated Fulford Residence caregivers and staff.
The ladies of Fulford had the privilege to see and hear a music concert by Ensemble ALKEMIA. This concert was made possible by la Société des Arts pour la Santé (SAMSANTÉ).

Hat Thursday at Fulford
In our spirit to keep the Fulford Ladies entertained, we came up with the idea of BRING YOUR OWN HAT DAY AT FULFORD!
Our staff wore their best hats and so did our ladies. We also had a "hat contest", which ended up to be a nice opportunity to release some stress and have some laughs!
Wednesday Morning Fellowship Time
Each week, on Wednesday, at 10:45 am, residents meet in the Church Room to share a time of hymn singing and quiet reflection. The COVID 19 virus, with the mandatory lockdown, meant that the usual Wednesday Morning Church Service had to be cancelled. One of the residents, Mary Ramsay, agreed to lead this time, an important opportunity for the ladies to gather and to reflect.

Fulford Staff treated by 3 Amigos Restaurant
Our neighbours, the Restaurant 3 Amigos (1657 Rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest) treated us today to a burrito; all the members of the Fulford staff received one!
It's the first (and hopefully not last) restaurant who has come to say ‘Thank You/Muchas gracias’ in the name of the community.
We are so touched by the generous gesture!

Palm Sunday was celebrated today at Fulford. Palm crosses from St. George’s Anglican Church, Ste Anne de Bellevue, were brought by Ann Cumyn, the Lay Reader for today’s service. There was a great turnout of the ladies encouraged by the young women of Sacred Heart School. We were a total of twenty-six! Palm crosses were handed out to each lady.

A number of the ladies, along with two aides and three volunteers, attended 'Les Anges Musiciens' at Salle Bourgie. The concert featured more than twenty instruments including bagpipes, flutes, vihuela, citole and even sea shells! The ladies found the concert full of surprises and intriguing sounds.
