Proud of Grandpa

Camp Cosmos director Valentina Solkin has every reason to be proud of her 91 year old grand-father Wolf William Solkin.  

Mr. Solkin, a Second World War Veteran, is the tech savvy editor of the Veteran’s Voice at Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue Hospital , keeping veterans and the larger community informed. 

“This place is a paradise,” said Solkin. “There’s a culture in place that emphasizes respect, consideration and compassion. We don’t want to lose that.”  

Hmm… sounds like the values that motivate his grand-daughter. Valentina – we are proud of you!!

Susannah



We were all very saddened at MCM to learn of the sudden death of former board chair Susannah Feeney. 
Susannah led our organization through some challenging transition times and was at the helm during our centennial celebrations in 2010. Her commitment and passion for MCM and the people we serve was unwavering. 

Our deepest sympathy to her family in B.C. and Quebec.


Nous sommes heureux de t'avoir connu Susannah. Repose en paix.
