Numerous studies have shown that reminiscence positively impacts the social well-being of seniors living in care facilities.
Reminiscence Program
This season, interpretive staff will return to High Crest Nursing Home in Sherbrooke to facilitate the museum’s Reminiscence (Memory Box) Program. Building on last year’s success, we will continue to bring objects that stimulate memories, engage the senses, and provide opportunities for conversation and remembering. Sing -a-longs and games add an element of joy. At the end of season, our visits will conclude with a Victorian Tea, including fancy teacups, sandwiches, scones, and sweets.
Tea & Talk
Over the winter off season, Sherbrooke Village hosted a series of presenters who spoke on diverse topics including indigenous culture, local merchant photographer: JW Leslie, rug hooking cottage industry, and heritage conservation. There was lots of engaging conservation over tea and oatcakes.
The last Tea & Talk for the winter off season will be April 23 at the Exhibit Centre. Heritage Goldenville Society members will present Goldenville: A Bustling Mining Community. Light refreshments will be served. Everyone is welcome!
