I don’t really have one favourite musician. Even though I can’t “carry a tune in a bucket” as my mom used to say, I love all types of music. Up beat tunes always make me happy and want to dance.
The best gift that I have ever received are my children and my grandchildren. I am very blessed with a wonderful family.
If I could, I would go back in time I would go back to my high school time in the early 1970’s. I enjoyed high school, my friends, sports and my teachers. Time went by so fast during that period that I would like to revisit that period again.
From the start that I have joined the MLP Team, I feel a great sense of caring. The residents’ well-being and happiness are first and foremost at MLP.

Louis Armstrong. I love all Jazz and Classical. Little bit of Country as well.
Life. It has given me the knowledge to help others, and most of all it has given me wonderful children and grand-children.
I would go back to Klondike Days – 1800’s. There wasn’t the hassle and bustle of everything – it was laid back and in order to cope you relied on your neighbours for help and endurance.
It has taught me patience and understanding of not only the residents but also other team members and how to cope with everyone’s needs.
Housekeeping
My favorite musician is the Chipmunks, I play them with the grand kids.
The best gift I’ve ever received was a pair of toe socks – why? “Everyone need toe socks, don’t you”
If I could go back in time, the year would be 2010; the year my mother passed, just to hear her voice one more time.
Housekeeping
I don’t really have a favourite musician. I like listening to Pop, Country and a little bit of Rock – but not Hard Rock. I like Nickelback, Bryan Adams and Adele.
Have to say this past Christmas – I received a 3D picture of a wolf head. Also having all of my family here is the best gift of all …
It would be when my other was growing up in the 1940’s. When rent was only $27 a month, you could buy a house for $3,000 and bread was only 10 cents a loaf.
My time at MLP has taught me to have more respect for seniors. We are all going to be there one day as well. Listen to what they have to say and appreciate that they have their own opinions … extend towards them a helping hand when needed

My favourite bands are Nickelback and AC/DC. However, I like pretty much all types of music as long as it has a good beat to the tune.
The best gift that I have ever received is my lovely wife, and soon to be born my first child!
I would go back to my childhood. Life was carefree with no worries or responsibilities. Life seemed so very simple then.
Although I am new to MLP Team, I have learned and realized the importance of team work and the great benefits that come with being part of a wonderful group of people – whose aim is to serve the amazing residents who live here.

My favorite musician would be my best friend, Bobbi-Jo Vandenburg. She has such a pure soulful country voice that I could listen to for hours.
The best gift I have ever received are my 3 beautiful children. They make me not take life for granted. I cherish each and every single day with them.
I would say that I would choose the 80’s. Mainly because it has the basics of everything we have today. It was a peaceful time in which life wasn’t, no economic crisis all around.
My time at MLP Residence has taught me that whether your young or elderly we all have a purpose here on earth.

My favourite musician is Bon Jovi.
The best gift I have ever received was a bouquet of flowers for no reason.
If I were to ever travel back in time, it would be in the 1920’s to get a better understanding of the depression and its effect on life.
I have understood what it really means to be a part of a “team” – one which cares for their residents and their well-being.
Care Services
As I am aging and becoming more humble and grateful for my presence, I find I am enjoying music that relates to the strength of spirit. I love chanting hymns, opera, foreign languages like Spanish, and more recently the Indian language.
The best gift I have ever received is my partner. He gave me the gift of joy. His spirit is light, while very grounded to the earth. I am of spirit so he is my balance with earth’s connection.
If I could go back in time it would be to the year 1989. My strength of spirit awakened. This was a journey of self, but not selfish. My year of physical accomplishment in body building championships. I overcame insecurities through training, which I recognized were not necessarily my own. My journey has awakened the depth of a strong spirit within me. Today I found joy in helping others with their strength of spirit, their voice within.

Don’t think I can pick one. I love county music, old and new.

I love all types of music, music can make you want to dance, it can make you cry. It can describe feelings and awaken a memory.
My best gift I ever received was one I had given to my sister. I drove to her home in Hamilton the day of her birthday, rang her door bell and she was so shocked to see me she slammed the door in my face, opened it again and cried while giving me the biggest hug ever.
I would go back to before 2001, as my mom, my best friend passes that year. Oh, to have one more day, week or year.

I enjoy a wide variety of music, what music I listen to all depends on my mood and company I am with.
The best gift I have ever received is my son, he is my world.

The best gift I have ever received would be the gift from God in the birth of my son, he is my only child and is my heart and soul.

The best gift I have ever received would be hands down my 3 children, I didn’t realize how quickly life happens until watching my children grow into young adults themselves.
I would travel back to 1995 as I would not have walked off the soccer field as I was drafted by the North York Blizzards, but I look at it things happen for a reason.
Hostess
On this harvest moon and Leonard Cohen – Hallelujah, are just a couple of my favourites.
When I was younger, I received a Pony, which I named Pepper. We had many happy hours spent together, riding through our orchards, grazing the open fields with friends and horses. Pepper was my happy place.
Hands down the roaring 20’s dancing the Charleston new freedom for women, jazz age drinking, music, smoking, fancy clothes and just carefree.

My daughter she is the light in my eye, she brings me so much joy.
