 We also have a regular “movie night” where recent releases and movie classics are equally popular.  Our residents also enjoy our new big screen TV.  We have many avid sports fans that flock to the lounge to watch the games. Hockey playoffs are a particularly noisy and fun-filled time.

Pastoral Care Services

Haro Park's Pastoral Care
which is an integral support to many of our seniors in meeting spiritual needs. Volunteer chaplains visit new residents, offering friendship and support during what can be a time of challenging adjustment.  Our chaplains also visit elders that have been admitted to hospital. Haro Park developed a network of visiting Ministers with the seven Protestant churches in the west end. On a rotating basis, each of the churches provides Sunday afternoon services at our Chapel. We also have Catholic Mass every Saturday morning. We  have an active Fellowship Bible Study Group; our volunteer chaplains lead hymn singing, bible study and discussion.
