The Magic Continues This past year has been one of planning for our new home while ensuring ongoing everyday magic for our residents in their current home. Part of the magic is our wonderful collaboration with local schools and colleges. We had more students in co-op and training roles than ever before. And we’re proud to have been awarded the Co-op Placement of the Year by North Dundas District High School. December 15th was a special day as the official groundbreaking ceremony for our new home took place. And then, everyone was feeling the love on Valentine’s Day as a giant excavator rolled down the street to begin construction. The new Dundas Manor will be more than double the size of the current home. Thirty additional residents will be welcomed. There will be four resident home areas called Homesteads. Each one will have a wonderful gathering space as well as beautiful outdoor gardens nearby. Hallway dining will be a thing of the past as there will be four large, bright dining rooms with enough space for everyone. Rooms in the new home will be larger – and everyone will have a window.

The Dream Team The healthcare team at Winchester District Memorial Hospital works hard to provide compassionate care close to home. Did you know that you are part of that team too? Because of our wonderful donors, the WDMH Foundation has written a cheque to Winchester District Memorial Hospital for $922,993.77 this year. Among other things, this money has been used to purchase nine new pieces of equipment to care for patients – including two new sterilizers at a cost of over $200,000 and a state-of-the-art mammography machine valued at about half a million dollars. Wow! It has also been an exciting year next door at Dundas Manor as we work with generous donors to raise funds for the new home. To date, donors have pledged more than $13.4 million to the Expanding the Circle of Compassionate Care campaign. And we know we will reach the $18 million goal – with everyone’s help. Thank you to those who have already donated and to all those considering a gift to the new Dundas Manor. The WDMH Foundation has existed for thirty years. While much has changed over three decades, the basic premise of why we are here has not. We care for one another. We are so grateful to the community volunteers who support our work, including the Board of Directors for their
