By Emilie Hackett, Special to the Record – The Renaissance Manoir St-Francis held its annual barbecue on Friday, June 7. The residents enjoyed hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill outside the dining room, prepared by the staff members. Réjeanne Frémont, Jean Kerr, and Barbara Moore were three of many residents gathered for the festive lunch. “It’s quite appreciated by everyone,” said Moore, who has been living at the Renaissance for four years. “It really means that summer is coming. Hamburgers are my favourite, but for some reason, we’re all eating hot dogs right now. I think we were hungry,” she chuckled. Frémont praised the regular food services as well. “Usually we have the salad bar where we go help ourselves, and that is really appreciated. We also have soups and then our main meal. But for today we are really enjoying our barbecue food,” she explained. Frémont has been a resident at the Renaissance for six years now and is the volunteer who welcomes all new residents to help them integrate into the establishment. “What she does is amazing,” mentioned Kerr, who was welcomed by Frémont two years ago when she arrived at the Renaissance.
