On Wednesday, June 26, community supporters joined County of Simcoe Warden George Cornell at Vespra Hills Golf Club in Springwater for the County’s 15th annual Warden’s Golf Tournament in support of long-term care programs.

“I would like to thank our generous sponsors and all of our participants for their contributions toward the County’s Give a Lift Campaign and for joining us for a great day on the course,” said Warden George Cornell. “We serve more than 540 residents at our four long-term care homes and these buses are essential to our programs and the quality of life of our residents, as they act as a key mode of transportation connecting residents to their communities and social activities.”
