During the darkest days of the COVID-19 pandemic, longterm care centers were among the hardest hit. Residents faced isolation, fear, and uncertainty—cut off from family, community, and the world outside their windows. One

Milton had multiple celebrations in August to recognize both India and Pakistan Independence days. Including an annual tradition by local resident Rick Di Lorenzo of inviting people to his home to celebrate, raise the flag and gather together over cake & chai. Both days included the singing of the corresponding national anthem along with Canada’s and distributions of free flags and pins of Pakistan, India and Canada.
