Saskatoon students spreading holiday cheer to care homes with letters, Christmas cards “We have a lot of regulars and we haven’t seen them,” manager Ashli Gavin said. “So, I just wanted to do something to brighten their spirits, and let them know that we’re thinking of them, and that we miss them.”It was those missing bonds that prompted Ashli and her mother, restaurant owner Bev Gavin, to reach out to Spruce Manor to create a gift catalogue.
Customers at Granny B’s were then able to pick a card to purchase a gift for a corresponding senior.The town of just over 1,800 responded in kind, filling all 52 cards in less than a day.
