It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like…

Christmas at Brockville General Hospital!

Brockville—Festive Father Christmas greets clients and families at Brockville General Hospital’s Charles Street site, standing beside one of the 16 Christmas trees appearing like magic throughout the hospital—all done by volunteers.

“It’s difficult to be in hospital or visiting family in hospital at Christmas,” says Christine Deault, Coordinator of Volunteer Services for the Brockville General Volunteer Association (BGVA), “so we make sure to brighten up as many spots as we can at both Charles and Garden Street sites.

“Housekeeping gets the trees out of storage and sets up the ones that have to be disassembled each year, “ Deault explains, “and the volunteers decorate them all.”

The volunteers also pack everything away when the holidays are over.

Staff members at BGH provide extra touches in the work areas, and the dietary staff takes special pride in decorating the cafeterias for everyone’s enjoyment.

“When the trees start going up at the start of December,” says Deault, “it starts a chain reaction. Everybody gets into the spirit of the season.”
