We invite all staff to raise money for the residents of Talarico Place by participating in our "Annual Polar Bear Swim".

Last year this event was a HUGE success raising over $1000 with all proceeds going towards redecorating the tub rooms at TPL. This year, our Goal is to exceed last year’s donations and use the proceeds towards furthering our work at Talarico Place in creating a more home-like environment starting in the dining room and working our way throughout the facility.

Please contact Ben Kopp for further information at 250-608-4403.

The residents of Talarico Place thank you for your support!

We were able to purchase the trauma stretcher, heart monitor, medicine cart and blood gas analyzer. We received donations from the Evening Rotary Club, Heritage Credit Union, CIBC, Castlegar & District Hospital Auxiliary, Shopper's Drug Mart and many kind donations from the people within the community.
