On the desk of Castle Wood Villages’ Community Managers, Linda and Jane, sits a gift from a wise resident. It says: “Love like you have never been hurt. Sing like no one is listening. Work like you don’t need the money. Dance like no one is watching.”
Linda Frew
“I look forward to coming to work everyday. Our residents are absolutely wonderful, each and every one of them make me smile. I work with an amazing group of people and I learn something new every day.”
After thirteen years as a paramedic for BC Ambulance Service and four years with the Lifeline Program, Linda came to Castle Wood Village five years ago. Her leisure hours are spent gardening, quading, fishing and with her never-ending quest to take the perfect picture.
Jane Phillips
“When I go home each night, I have pleasure in knowing that we have helped make someone’s day a little brighter and maybe a little easier. I feel very fortunate for the help of the many fantastic people in our building who create a wonderful atmosphere for our residents.”
Jane has commuted from her home in Fruitvale to her job at Castle Wood Village for almost five years now. When she’s not at work or driving, she enjoys swimming, camping and weekly card games with friends.
