Cultivating Hope Capital Campaign
We need your help with the redevelopment of the resident courtyard
Nature is a powerful therapeutic resource. The research is clear; time spent in nature improves physical and mental health and enhances our well-being and quality of life. In Actionmarguerite’s commitment to co-create living environments where life is good, we collaborated with residents, families, staff, and volunteers to develop a renewed vision for this communal space that serves 299 people who call Actionmarguerite St. Boniface home, along with their loved ones and caregivers.

The courtyard is an important element in creating the comforts of home. In its 40th season, this favourite visiting space needs love and tending and we need your help to create a welcoming outdoor space to nourish the body, mind, and spirit, awaken the senses, and create links between our humanity and nature that contribute to the well-being of our community.
Thanks to this renewal, our courtyard will regain its energy, enabling the creation of many precious memories for years to come.

A haven where life is good
The revitalized courtyard at Actionmarguerite St. Boniface will re-open the doors year-round. Here, life in all its stages can flourish. The new courtyard design includes accessible paths, lined with flowers, tall grasses, benches, and swings. The paths lead to sunny or shady alcoves—some quiet, others lively—where birds bathe in the fountain or feast, along with squirrels, at feeders suspended from branches, and where bees and butterflies flutter from flower to flower. There are places to enjoy picnics, music, art and recreation. In the evening, the walkway lights create a soft glow making for a beautiful ambiance to enjoy long summer nights and crisp fall evenings.
