UOVSFC Update for the week of June 1st 2026

Happy Seniors Month! @Ontario Seniors @Ontario Aînés

At a party, a woman admonished her husband, saying, “That’s the fourth time you’ve gone back for ice cream and cake. Doesn’t it embarrass you?” He shrugged and answered, “Why should it? I keep telling them it’s for you.”

Coffee and Conversation Thursday, June 18 at the Hexagon (DRSSC), and continuing there until the fall.

 AGM and BBQ at the Deep River Legion last Thursday was well attended and enjoyed by all.  Thanks to the helpers who prepared and cleaned up, especially Gordon and Rolando on the barbecue.

Congratulations to Doreen Clements who is now officially Treasurer for the next term after her appointment earlier when the position became vacant, and to Sylvie Poulin who was elected Vice President.

Janna Hotson, CEO of DRDH gave a lively and interesting talk on the developments at our Health campus including the new Long Term Care building under construction and planned changes in other areas of care.  She also fielded a large number of questions.
