Gordon’s Story
I am an eighty-eight year old man with a number of health issues. I enjoy the Seniors Daycare Program because it gives me a reason to get up and get dressed. I wait for the taxi to take me to the Harbourview Hospital where I meet friends and when I arrive I am offered breakfast. I also like the exercise programs that loosen up my muscles.

Check out the March burger at Black Spoon Bistro! Looks delicious, stop in for lunch!
We are so grateful for the support 🥰
#supportlocal #LocalBusinessLoveIntroducing the March Burger!
Ten percent of proceeds for every burger sold will be donated to the Northside Hospital Foundation this month.
This rockstar of a burger is 7 ounces of ground beef chuck with a smoked white cheddar, brown butter aioli, maple & dark rum onion jam, house dill pickles, all dressed hickory sticks, shredded lettuce on a toasted sesame seed bun.
All the flavors and a way to support a local charity!
Only served during lunch hours. Stop by and try it out. We think it’s amazing if we do say so ourselves! ❤️
