The Wellington Terrace has its very own porch goose!

This month the Goose got an extra creative, spooky makeover all thanks to one resident’s creative vision. Natashia has a deep passion and history with clothing design and the creative arts. She channeled her inner artist and with help from staff and co-residents turned the porch goose into a classic Halloween character, Winnie Sanderson from Hocus Pocus.

Wellington Terrace honours the recent passing of their kitty friend, Blossom, a beloved pet therapy visitor.

What began as visits to one family member grew into a decade of companionship, smiles and gentle moments shared throughout the home as she became a familiar, welcome face for residents and staff alike.

For 10 years, Blossom made her rounds in a walker turned 'chariot,' visiting as many as 60 people each week.

Our heartfelt thanks to Blossom’s family for sharing her with the Wellington Terrace community, and our condolences as they say goodbye.
