Spookiest of the Spooky

We have a winner! In fact, we have a couple of them. There were so many great costumes at the Norgarden Estates Halloween parties it was hard to choose a winner but residents cast their votes and chose the best dressed resident and the best dressed staff members. A great time was had by all with each resident receiving their own 'treat-bag'. The Peninsula even saw a handful of trick or treaters!

Vampire Christina Goodwin won best staff member costume at Norgarden (shown with Nurse Chelsey Vandergoot):



The Mad Hatter, Nolan McLaren, made quite an impression winning best staff member costume at The Peninsula:



Peninsula resident Dorothy Olkovick's wild costume won her first place for resident costume at The Peninsula:



Our Director of Leisure Services, Kathleen Harapnuk made a great cat:



And Celia Maher made an extra frightening witch:
