This year's Poppy Project. Thanks to community knitters and crocheters we were able to add Providence Bay to our locations this year! Thanks to all volunteers and participants who made the project possible and a great way to honour our veterans.

‼️GAUGING INTREST FOR GROUP WEEKLY DROP-INS‼️

Attention Manitoulins older adults and individuals with disabilities!

Are you interested in having a new weekly drop-in day at an accessible spot in Mindemoya?

Lunch, games and learning on topics relevant to seniors, like tips on staying healthy — and we’re open to other ideas!

We are trying to gauge interest, so if you or anybody you know would be interested in attending please reach out to Jan McQuay at [email protected].

Transportation may be available, so let us know if that would be needed. This is a project-in-the-works by Friends of the Mindemoya Old School with Manitoulin Home Care. Let’s continue getting together!

Thank you for your time!!
Tayler and Crystal
