PEAKS TO PINES RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION & CROWSNEST CRUISERS
PEAKS TO PINES RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION
We are very happy to announce that the greenhouse at Peaks to Pines Seniors Lodge is officially finished and fully wheelchair-accessible. Residents are busy planting flower seedlings for the planters placed in the courtyards at the Lodge, as well as vegetables, such as radishes, peas, and carrots. Last year, more than 50 lbs of produce was donated to our Food Bank! Heartfelt thanks to Northback Holdings, the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass, Spring Break Flower Farm, and the many individual who helped make this dream a reality! To see the joy on the faces of the residents as they work in the soil is…priceless!
We are a registered charity and issue tax receipts for donations of $25 or more. Name plates are mounted on a Wall of Thanks in the lobby of Peaks to Pines Seniors Lodge for donations of $100 or more. Logos of donors may be placed on the Crowsnest Cruisers van for donations of $5,000 or more to that service. Donors are also recognized on social media. We accept donations by cheque, cash, or e-transfer to peakstopinesresidents@gmail.com and sincerely appreciate your support! Please check out our website at www.p2pra.ca. It includes information about our fundraising efforts, volunteer opportunities, an ‘In Memory’ page, list of donors, and much more!

We are always in need of volunteer drivers. If you have a Class 1, 2, or 4 driver's license (or are willing to obtain one), and able to help us once or twice a month, we’d love to hear from you!
