This year, Easter took place while the world was dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. By far, the biggest loss was the inability to hug and spend in-person time with loved ones.

While there is no substitution for a hug, Bethanie staff kept spirits high with creative Easter celebrations such as a visit from ‘Ralph’ the Easter bunny, indoor volleyball, Easter egg hunts, cupcake decorating and the delivery of beautiful Easter messages from various school children.

Some Bethanie Retirement Villages also received goodies from various businesses including scrumptious spiral cinnamon scrolls and cookies.
