Good Afternoon,
Selkirk remains COVID-19 free!
Should the status of our community change in any respect, please know that we will immediately inform all resident’s and tenant’s families or primary contact.
Can you believe next week is December!? Our Recreation staff will begin decorating this weekend and I hope to have some new pictures next week of the festive displays. The unit’s Christmas parties will occur on Dec. 15. Wayne, Support Service Manager, and Brian, Recreation Manager, have come together to plan a wonderful canapés lunch with recreation fun and entertainment.
Recreation
Selkirk is doing an intergeneration distance art project with the local Montessori school over the next few weeks. Our residents who participate will be given a subject to create an art piece, and the children will be given the same subject. It will be interesting to see how different generations interpret the subjects!
I love seeing the community give back and find new creative ways to reach out. We were contacted by a local teacher who is working on a project called Caring Cards Campaign and hopes to provide our site with handmade cards from the children she works with. We all look forward to seeing their creations before they start their Winter Break.
Visitations
All social visitation goes through the Visitation Team. You can contact them at 250-940-1028 local 1125.
If you are needing to cancel or rebook your visit, please give us as much notice as possible so we can try to fit someone else in that spot.
