care, water therapy and physiotherapy,
as well as others that are related to ac-
tivities of daily living. One of the most
important of these is the stroke club,
which is an integral part of the pro-
gram. It meets one day each week, and
the program has helped a great many
people. All the activities are geared to
keeping the seniors physically and
mentally activated so that they may
stay in their own homes as long as
possible.
Sixty seniors participate in the pro-
gram. The average daily attendance is
eighteen. Because a number of well
elderly from Huronview participate in
the Day Care Program, they get to
know the people from the community,
and when it has become necessary for
one of them to become institutionalized,
the transition has been incredibly easy.
According to Mr. Lester, ad-
ministrator, it has been extremely ex-
citing to see what this program has
done far people. For one gentleman who
had suffered a stroke and was blind,
coming to the Centre was the highlight
of the week.
The Royal Canadian Legion

proud to support the Huron Day
Centre in their work for th e
homebound.
Our congratulations on ten
years of service.
