The Ladies Auxiliary of the Cedars Home was established in February 1961 with Mrs. Nellie Howick being named its founding President.

The main goal of the Auxiliary is to help enhance the quality of life of the residents so as to benefit their emotional and social well-being. This compassionate group of women feel honored not only to bring much joy and love to the residents but also to provide them with companionship and a link to the community.

The ladies enjoy attending recreational activities such as bingo, board and card games, birthday celebrations, musical entertainment and summer outings. They also host the popular annual Christmas and Easter parties. This group of women has always been a major source of support to the Cedars and regularly share coffee, tea and their delicious homemade baked goods with the residents.

Together, the Board of Directors and the Ladies Auxiliary continue to play an integral role in maintaining and preserving the dignity of and the respect for our precious and valued elderly. They always regard their mission as a true labour of love and approach it with proud and caring hearts and great dedication and commitment.
