Happy Holidays from the CNIB Lake Joe team!

The entire CNIB Lake Joe team wishes you health, hope and happiness this holiday season! Here’s how our team will be celebrating the best of the season.

Kelly Hayes

Kelly likes all things merry and bright during the holidays, especially snacking on sweet treats and singing Christmas carols! Her Santa hat represents memories of listening to the Raffi Christmas record as a child – “Must Be Santa!”!

Barry and Ambassador Guide Dog Willow are best buds, spending as much time as possible outdoors, whether at work or play. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

 In Diane’s family, a new ornament is added to the Christmas tree every year and a special wish is made.

Sherri Helsdingen

Sherri comes by her incurable love of chocolate; honestly…it’s in her blood thanks to her Dutch dad and the tradition of milk chocolate letters. Vrolijk Kerstfeest!

Amy is kneeling in front a pile of wrapped presents, holding one of her houseplants overtop while smiling.
Amy Lord

Amy doesn't need a tree to put her gifts under when she has so many houseplants that do the trick!

Lindsay is smiling at her front door, pointing to her holiday wreath that is brightly lit.
Lindsay Garrett

Lindsay LOVES decorating for the holidays and listening to Christmas music. She’s a serious competitor in Holiday Trivia sessions.

Monique is in her kitchen wearing a red apron with a big smile.
Monique Pilkington

During the holidays, Monique cherishes time with family celebrating time-honoured traditions. As her red apron indicates, she loves preparing her family’s holiday favourites, like eggs benedict and turkey dinner with all the fixings!

The holidays are about spending time with family and friends. Lately, Eugene has been spending those special moments with his family in the arena. There’s no where he would rather be then cheering on his kids’ teams and spreading a little holiday cheer while doing it!
