home is where the grateful heart is!

2023's Around the World: Home Is Where the Heart Is campaign has wrapped up, full of amazing adventures at home highlighting spaces at Misericordia Place where our incredible residents and staff live and work!

• Ralph's Adventure at Home: Exploring China!
• Hugh's Adventure at Home: Irish Pints, Please!
• Bill's Adventure at Home: Cruising the Continents!
• Ann & Olga's Adventure at Home: Parisian Patisseries!
• Simone's Adventure at Home: Hoping for Holland!
• Susan's Adventure at Home: Rock-ing Around the World!

We can’t thank Canadian Tire enough for their generous support of this campaign, for the third  year in a row! This year, for every dollar donated, Canadian Tire matched it with two more, tripling the impact. Thanks to Canadian Tire, generous donors and community members – as well as all the MP residents and health-care heroes involved – we were able to raise more than $60,000 to renew, refurbish and refresh Misericordia Place! 
 
With this incredible support, new shipments of furniture were purchased for the benefit of all! Below is our Director of Long Term Care, Jennifer Taylor, modelling one of the new chairs.

In addition to being bright, beautiful, and modern, our new furniture is better for our enhanced pandemic-era cleaning protocols - which will always remain essential in long-term care facilities.

But stay tuned – the Around the World campaign was just the first step in a larger campaign to entirely refresh Misericordia Place! It’s been a long 23 years since MP opened in 2000 and, understandably, critical improvements to enhance and modernize are definitely needed!

See you next year!
