Around the World Day 

Avalon explores the world 

Avalon Care Centre- Orangeville, Ontario

On April 19^th, it was “Around the World” day at Avalon. The fiesta room was set up with various displays to recognise several countries around the world that the residents and staff are from. Staff brought in items to contribute to their country displays and some even dressed for the theme. Residents and staff enjoyed touring the displays, taste testing foods, reminiscing and learning about the different cultures in the world. All activities scheduled during the day were based on the theme. Both residents, families and staff enjoyed exploring and learning about one another’s cultures. Avalon resident Gerrie from Holland became teary and said "it brings back childhood memories for me".
