Staff went to great lengths to ensure that, despite restrictions, residents didn't ​miss out on Easter Mass.  They moved our two large screens to different parts of the facility where residents were able to attend Mass remotely.

Life Stories and Digital Learning
Thanks to the support of the Office of Multicultural Interests, we conducted a very special project in 2019. The project involved pairing 10 young volunteers with 10 residents to work together over a period of 10 weeks to record special stories from the life of each resident.  Each pair used an iPad (funded by Lotterywest) to record the stories.  With the help of the volunteers, the residents also gained a general understanding of such things as email, Facebook, Google, Skype and YouTube.
