We like to have fun at Willow Centre. For almost every occasion we plan a party as an opportunity to socialize and laugh. Parties are held in the Lounge, Multi-Purpose Room or in the Courtyard depending on the time of year and size of the festivities. Come join us!
In this picture, we’re having a great time celebrating Halloween. Don’t worry, no one got hurt!
Courtyard
We love our courtyard!! What a great place to enjoy a beautiful summer day. The tenants enjoy getting together to barbecue, sit in the gazebo and play cards and just relax and watch the fish play in the pond. Fresh vegetables are also plentiful when the season is right and can be picked right out of our community garden.

Tennant Resource Coordinator
The Tenant Resource Coordinator is funded through a grant from WRHA. The purpose of the coordinator is to help tenants with a variety of needs. If you are not sure who to call or how to go about getting something done the coordinator is onsite at Willow Centre every Wednesday to assist you. She also organizes activities and works with the volunteers for the Congregate Meal Program. She’s a great ‘go-to’ person who’s there to help!
