LITTLE CURRENT—The Manitoulin Centennial Manor received a generous donation from the Northeast Town and McLean’s Mountain Wind Limited Partnership’s road use agreement fund to be used toward the purchase of needed equipment for the facility.
The $10,000 donation from the fund will go to the purchase of a Carendo hygiene shower chair.
“This chair will allow our staff to provide full care to our residents in terms of peri-care, wound care, bathing, dressing and toileting which will decrease behaviours, improve incontinence, reduce agitation and make it safer for our residents and staff,” explained Manor Administrator Michelle Bond. “
As part of the construction of the McLean’s Mountain Wind Farm, which finished earlier this year, the Northeast Town and McLean’s Mountain Wind Limited Partnership entered into a road use agreement resulting in a community fund of 20 annual $10,000 donations from the wind partnership to be used towards or to support Northeast Town organizations and/or initiatives.
Last year, the Northeast Town council supported a $10,000 donation to the Howland Seniors’ Hall renovations.
“We are happy to be able to continue to support the community as part of our agreement,” said McLean’s Mountain Wind Farm Manager Rick Martin. “The Manor is an important facility in the community and we are pleased to once again be helping a very worthy cause.”
