We welcome Megan Garland into her newly created leadership role of Director, Long Term Care and Senior Services,” noted Councillor Chris Peabody, Chair of the Long Term Care Homes Committee of Management.

Brucelea Haven in Walkerton and Gateway Haven in Wiarton continue to ensure a robust pandemic response, an Essential Caregiver Program, and virtual visiting opportunities.
