Residents of Lee Manor, a long-term care facility in Owen Sound, have their sights set on a world record. On March 16th Lee Manor joined more than 700 other facilities and hospitals from around the world in an attempt to enter the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest simultaneous tea party.
The "Global Tea Party" is part of the annual Nutrition and Hydration Week celebration which highlights nutrition and hydration as an important part of quality care in health and social care settings.
