Thank you first responders!

The Town has proclaimed May 1st, 2026 as “First Responders Day” and encourage all
residents to take the time to recognize and thank all first responders for their bravery and unwavering service they provide to protect and serve our community every day.

First responders are those men and women who, in the early stages of an emergency, are responsible for the protection and preservation of life, property, evidence and the environment. They include a broad range of highly trained professionals and volunteers, such as paramedics, police officers, firefighters, physicians, medical evacuation pilots, emergency management personnel, road maintenance workers, and members of the Canadian Armed Forces.

These individuals respond to emergencies with professionalism, bravery, skill, and compassion, frequently placing themselves at personal risk in service of others.

The dedication, sacrifice, and commitment demonstrated by first responders warrant recognition and gratitude for the essential role they play in protecting and supporting our community.

Recently, the Rotary Club made a generous donation to the Family and Friends Council (FFC) of the Grove Home. Rotary members Amanda and Alec presented the FFC executive (Laurie, Juliette, and Maureen) with the cheque.

Funds will be used for the courtyard beautification project, which we are sure the residents will greatly enjoy. Thank you to the Rotary Club!

COMMUNITY NOTICE – Emergency Preparedness Exercise

On the morning of Tuesday May 5th, 2026, The Grove Long-Term Care Home will be conducting a scheduled emergency preparedness exercise, including a mock evacuation.

Members of the public may notice an increased presence of police, fire, and paramedic vehicles in the area.

This exercise is a standard, ministry‑required process to ensure our team and partners are prepared in the event of a real emergency. Like all emergency codes, these exercises are completed regularly so we can test systems, practice our response, and learn together.

As part of the exercise, some residents will be safely relocated to the former Grove building next door.

Exercises like this demonstrate our ongoing commitment to resident safety, emergency readiness, and high‑quality care. Thank you for your understanding.

From serving on a Combat Health Team in the Australian Army to working as a paramedic in Renfrew County, ED Nurse Steven Barrie has had a remarkable clinical journey. After getting to know the team at ARH through triage, he was so impressed by the collaborative environment that he chose to return to his roots as a nurse...and to stay at ARH.

Now part of our Emergency Department team, Steven has found a workplace where strong physician-nurse partnerships, clinical variety, and a supportive culture make every shift meaningful.

Based on sustained decreases in respiratory illness in our community, Arnprior Regional Health has returned to regular masking practices.

What this means for patients, residents, clients, and visitors:

✅ Masks are no longer required in all patient‑care areas.

Masks remain required in certain situations, including:

- During outbreaks
- In areas where enhanced precautions are in place

Anyone who is feeling unwell or showing symptoms of respiratory illness may be asked to wear a mask to help protect others. Please follow any posted signage regarding masks.

Patients, residents, clients, and visitors are always welcome to wear a mask at any time based on personal preference or comfort.

Our Infection Prevention and Control and Occupational Health and Safety teams continue to closely monitor respiratory illness trends. Masking guidance will be adjusted as needed to keep everyone safe.

Thank you for your continued cooperation and for helping us maintain a safe and healthy environment for our community.
