The chicks of Kensington

A holiday match: honouring a kind and loving mother and grandmother
In appreciation for the excellent care Joan experienced at Kensington Gardens, the Graham family have initiated a matching gift in her loving memory. Like Joan, they wish to inspire others to give to back this holiday, knowing that their donations will have double the impact.

The power of music
By using a variety of music therapy techniques, Sarah can easily connect and build a strong lasting relationship with the people she works with.
We stand with our London family
Like all of you, our hearts ached when we heard the news of the four family members killed in London, Ontario while enjoying a walk on Sunday June 6. Then, when we learned that this was an act of mass murder driven by Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hate, our hearts sunk even further to a painfully familiar place.

Over the weekend, Canadians received the harrowing news that the remains of 215 children – some as young as three years old – were found on the grounds of a former residential school in Kamloops, British Columbia.
Processing eye tissue doesn’t stop during a pandemic
Fifteen months into the COVID-19 pandemic, the eye tissue transplant work at Kensington’s Eye Bank of Canada (Ontario Division) hasn’t stopped. The team often pivoted throughout the pandemic to ensure tissue is available for sight-saving procedures.
Enjoying tea on Mother’s Day
While general visitors are still not allowed in the building due to Ministry guidelines, essential caregivers being able to visit will make this Mother’s Day extra special.

Meet the women making a difference at 340 College Street

Despite ongoing challenges caused by COVID-19, they have continued to offer the safest care possible for their patients.
