Zellers provides festive cheer for seniors While Georgetown Hospital was enjoying a tree-lighting ceremony earlier this month, residents of the adjacent Bennett Health Care Centre had their own tree decorated in front of the main entrance. Bennett resident Charles Roe contacted his son who works at Zellers and suggested the tree out front needed lights. Roe's son contacted another person at Zellers who then donated 500 lights to decorate the tree and give a bit of the festive season to the residents of the Bennett Centre.
