Mississauga city council is trying to help about 200 seniors who are being evicted from their retirement residence to make way for a private housing development.
Residents of Chartwell Heritage Glen Retirement Home received eviction notices this month. They now have until the end of July to find accommodations that provide the care they need. But residents and family members say those are hard to find, and to afford.
TORONTO A guest attendant at a retirement residence in Mississauga has been lifting the spirits of seniors by taking “pet portraits” of the residents and their four-legged companions. “I got the idea because one of the residents confided in me that she didn’t have a picture with her cat,” Ivonne Spinel told CTV News Toronto. “And I said, ‘this is it, I will do it.’” Spinel said she works at Chartwell Heritage Glen Retirement Residence, and that first photo with Beth and her cat inspired her to want to photograph every resident with their pet. She said she has also been printing, framing and gifting the photos to the seniors.
