Our Palliative Care Team
Thanks
The Pain and Palliative Care team would like to
extend our heartfelt appreciation to Ted McCleister
of McCleister Funeral Home in Brantford for their
generous donation. These belongings bags will
provide a vessel for family members when packing
the belongings of their deceased loved one.
A bag will be supplied with each belongings box on
the home areas beginning January 2, 2015.
Please ensure that each family has a box provided to
them. Once the box is given please contact Laura
Tremblay x228 and another box will be brought to
your home area.
Once again, thank you to Ted McCleister for his
generous donation to our Palliative Care program.
Special Thanks to…
• Elizabeth Banks- for her continued support of the pain and palliative
team through donations made in memory of her husband Michael.
• Malhi Family- for their generous donation to the pain and palliative
team to continue their important work

Christmas.
Time has flown by so quickly! 2014 was a
busy year for us, and we are looking forward
to a busy 2015. Our calendar is full of
exciting activities to help get us through the
long winter months.
We have four programs (morning, afternoon

Brantford and Brant County. If you or anyone

supplies or will be put toward a new bus. Tax
