HURON COUNTY, ONT. It’s a little brighter inside two of Huron County’s long-term care homes thanks to the Hugs for the Homes poster campaign. “It’s been motivating, I think, to keep us in it. They bring tears to your eyes,” says Huronlea and Huronview Homes for the Aged Program Manager Dawn Smith. Just before Christmas, Huron County organized inspiring quotes of support from local leaders to thank and encourage staff and residents at Huronview and Huronlea Homes for the Aged in Clinton and Brussels. Over 20 posters were created and hung over the holidays. “We’ve all been battling through this, you know, it’s been a long haul, and we’re not through it yet. So it’s nice to have that something positive to remind us why we’re here,” says Smith.
