MONTREAL A grassroots movement is hoping to stop the Fulford Residence, a private seniors home for women that dates back to confederation, from closing. As the month began, Fulford residents were told they would have to find somewhere else to live in six months, as the COVID-19 pandemic worsened the home s financial situation. In addition, in 2020, about 20 nurses and orderlies found employment elsewhere owing to the uncompetitive salaries the home was able to offer. Now, the community is pushing back putting pressure on the home s board of directors to reconsider the decision to close. We want to bring together the government, private funding, to see if maybe Fulford can be saved, said resident Sharon Hill s son Chris Holcroft.

In the pre-dawn hours of a Saturday morning in 1937, 24-year-old Victor Weaver and his wife, Edith, loaded 17 dressed chickens into the trunk of their 1936 Hudson Terraplane. They had prepared the chickens the prior afternoon in their small farmhouse kitchen in Blue Ball, Pennsylvania.
They took their cargo to the Sharon Hill Farmers Market, near Philadelphia. They returned to Blue Ball with an empty trunk, a little bit of cash and plans for weekly runs to Sharon Hill.
In the short space of a few months, the husband-and-wife team was processing 200 chickens a week for their blossoming business. They had outgrown the farmhouse, so they moved to nearby New Holland and hired an employee, Ben Burkholder, to help dress the birds and tend the market stand.
