Holiday Magic

Raising funds with some Holiday Magic

The Giving Tree is a yearly holiday campaign that supports our Care & Share program, ensuring that our residents are remembered on Christmas morning. The Northwood Foundation collects donations of gifts from the community and gives those items to our Northwood residents. For those living in long-term care, life can be lonely and this is our way to make the holiday season just a little better.

At each Northwood location (Bedford, Halifax, Dartmouth), a tree will be displayed with different tags. You can choose a tag, purchase the item on the tag, or you can also choose a monetary tag to make a donation. All donations will go to our Care & Share program, and will receive an income-tax receipt.

Keep an eye out for the Giving Trees that will pop up at the end of November! If you would like to donate a gift, come and fi nd a tag off the tree! You can drop off your donations at any of our locations, or contact us to arrange a pick up. Together we can brighten someone’s Christmas.

There are also many organizations in the community that have Giving Trees in support of Northwood. For more information on how your business can be part of this giving program, please contact Faye at 902-454-3378.

The Northwood Foundation is gearing up to kick off the 2020 holiday season with a special Holiday Magic virtual show! Holiday Magic is a holiday-themed, stage production created by VanWart Productions and will feature Northwood talent!

SUDOKU

Here’s How It Works:

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
