To All Family Members/Friends/Visitors
I want to send a huge thank you for your assistance in helping us fundraise in 2023 to upgrade the Koi Fish pond that is located in our Central Courtyard. I thank everyone who donated items for raffle/silent auction, participated in lottery draws, attended the fundraising events, promoted fundraising activities, donated items for the yard sales, and making a generous donation. The pond was at least 20 years old . The maintenance Team had been filling the pond with water in order for the Koi fishes to continue living in the pond .
Over the past month , the Zee family made a donation to have the round fountain included in the pond ,The finished product , as you can see from the photos taken , is stunning (day &night) Display of new plants , water, Koi Fish, rocks/stones, and strategically placed lighting . I hope that you and your loved ones enjoy spending time in the Central Courtyard. I have connected with the Gardening Committee on how to redesign the rest of the courtyard. to complement the upgraded Koi Fish pond.
This Year , we are fundraising to : transform the East Courtyard into a Tranquility Garden , replace aged roofs for our 2 buildings , and replace a fleet of aging beds .Donations are needed to create a pathway with a bench, labyrinth, rock gardens, spiritual rocks, “phone in the wind”, stone temple, indigenous art on pillar of pergola to make the tranquility Garden reality .
Currently , LDR engineering company is conducting a tendering process to identify the company who will replace the roof on the Special Care Unit building . The estimated cost is $483,000. I have submitted a grant application to BC Gaming Program for Capital Projects. Hopefully, I will receive good news from the provincial body .
