It has been busy out at Country Meadows. We have had many fall programs with more still to come.
We are excited to partner up again with Mrs. Sheila Bremner and the Beautiful Plains School Division to offer Rhyme Time. Rhyme Time is an intergenerational preschool program. The young participants sure bring a lot of life and joy to our multi-purpose room. Along with the residents, the children do rhymes and actions together, play games, make a craft and enjoy a morning snack together. Thank you to Mrs. Bremner for making this program possible.
