Hello Our facility is in a rural town 200 kms from the nearest city. I have worked as an Activity Coordinator for 13 years. One of my first projects was to get historic pictures of our area, print and laminate them. Over the years I have collected about 200 historic pictures All our Residents and visitors love these photos. They discuss the photo's content and it also prompts them to talk about the "old days" I have learnt many new things about the history of this area from this activity
A colleague referred this resource to assist in implementing our activities program many years ago. I felt, I had struck 'gold.' It has been immeasurable in assisting to provide new material and ideas to stimulate our clients. I will be a member for my working life. Thank you!
