Two employees are no longer working at an Ottawa retirement home, according to the owner, following accusations its general manager allowed his wife to get a dose of COVID-19 vaccine that was intended for a front-line worker.
Riverstone Retirement Communities, the company that owns Stirling Park Retirement Community, said Wednesday it has completed its investigation into recent events and that two employees are no longer with the company.
OTTAWA Everyone loves getting a card in the mail, but what if it came from a complete stranger? Seniors all throughout Ottawa have been receiving well wishes this holiday season and it’s brightened up their days. Bob Ford lives in at the Stirling Park Retirement Community. Out of the blue, he received a greeting card with a letter. “I didn’t realize the significance of it, and how much I enjoyed it,” he tells CTV News Ottawa. The card came from a complete stranger and was delivered by the staff at the retirement community. “Wishing us well during the pandemic, and a bit about her family; and that they were living through this also,” Ford says.
