Family Fun Day a Huge Success

On Saturday, June 14, Kings Way Care Centre held our 6th Annual Walk A Thon and Family Fun Day.

This year, we were fundraising for a Year Round Greenhouse that will be attached to our building. The Kings Way LifeCare Alliance Foundation’s purpose is to support quality of life initiatives and quality of life enhancements that government funding alone cannot provide.

Despite the rain, we were fortunate to hold the walk and activities inside with the exception of the pony rides and the bouncy castle. Fun was had by all with children, family pets, great music and lots of great food.

Thank you to all of our residents, staff, families, board members and volunteers for this very successful event.

Also, a special Thank you to our sponsors, Kings Way Assembly, Dykeman’s Hardware Limited, AJW Mechanical, Viking Fire Protection, Shades of Green, Bay Electric, Bird Construction, Brunswick FYR, Pro-Tech

Sanitation, Cal-Tech Services Limited, Saint John Spring Works and Vending For You. Without your generous support, we could not have exceeded our goal.

Total raised was $12,370.00!!

Lavender & Lupins

Again this year, we had the pleasure of the Grade 5 Students from Quispamsis Elementary School visit as part of our Lavender & Lupin’s project. The purpose of the children visiting is to plant flowers and interact with our residents. In past years, the children have planted in the classroom and brought the seedlings here. This year, we purchased annuals and the children brought bulbs to plant. The planters look amazing. The students & residents were treated to a yummy BBQ lunch.

This project was implemented so when we have the Year Round Greenhouse, gardening will be part of the school program on a regular basis.
