Hitting the front page of the newspaper never gets old for Canterbury Foundation who is leading the way in providing the best of care for our elderly.

Thank you to Elise Stolte of the Edmonton Journal
for diving deep into the senior vaccination story and interviewing Wendy King, Executive Director of Canterbury and one of our Canterbury's families, for this piece. We hope that supportive living sites will be added to the first phase of vaccine rollout when more vaccine arrives, so all seniors in congregate living, regardless of how their care is funded, receive vaccines first.

'The public didn't know': Why some frail seniors weren't in Alberta's first vaccine rollout — Groundwork It’s a one-word difference — licensed versus designated — but it’s meant the difference between the relief of a vaccination campaign and being stuck in the…

Over the past year, we've taken on the huge job of communicating all things COVID to the over 270 seniors, staff and residents who call Canterbury Foundation home. We've managed both external, internal, and crisis communications. Canterbury is a not-for-profit seniors care centre in West-Edmonton, and because it is not a publicly-funded care home, it has been left off the list of seniors care centres receiving the first phase of COVID vaccine roll-outs. The decision to only vaccine publicly-funded long term care for phase 1, means 20,000 seniors will not be vaccinated in phase 1. This week we engaged Edmonton media to try to educate on the issue and fight for all seniors regardless of what care provider they have chosen. Take a look. Global News Edmonton
