This year we offered workshops to multicultural community groups such as the South Nepean Muslim Centre (SNMC), and Ottawa Community Immigrant Services Organization (OCISO). We continued our program at Wabano with great success, offering workshops on plant medicines and indigenous plants.
We carried out community gardening at 3 OCH residences: 800 St. Laurent, Clementine Towers, and 300 Lacasse, celebrating diversity and multiculturalism.
Language interpreters and celebrations continued to enhance the social opportunities for seniors to draw closer together with a common theme of gardening. We held a beautiful Recognition Event and a Closing Harvest Ceremony to celebrate our successful year, funded by Ontario Trillium Foundation.
Adele MacKay our SOG Manager and Gardening Coach needed to move on so SOG selected and welcomed Christine Matheson to continue the valuable work with so many seniors.
