A Âé¶čAV developer is celebrating the city’s birthday by giving coffee and baked goods to frontline workers as well as launching an Instagram contest for residents.

Orchard Park Properties, developers of Water Street by the Park, is celebrating Âé¶čAV’s 116th birthday on May 5, by recognizing those who have been at the forefront of the pandemic while working at Âé¶čAV General Hospital. An Instagram contest is also being launched simultaneously, where people can win $116-gift cards to any food and wine businesses near the Water Street by the Park site.

Due to COVID-19 health orders, plans for a community celebration with Mayor Basran and cake for Âé¶čAV residents had to be scrapped in favour of a “pandemic-style” event that celebrates Âé¶čAV’s true heroes in addition to the city’s birthday, according to developers.

Nurses, doctors and staff at Âé¶čAV General Hospital (KGH) will be able to mark the city’s milestone with complimentary coffee and baked goods served at The Perking Lot cafĂ© in the hospital lobby.

To mark the occasion with Âé¶čAV residents, “Happy Birthday Âé¶čAV” an Instagram contest will also take hold.

The “Happy Birthday Âé¶čAV” Instagram contest closes on May 12, at noon.
