The Grand Parade is a family-friendly fundraiser walk that helps local charities who support aging Canadians and their families. Team up, walk, and fundraise with us on Saturday, September 20, 2025!
For Over 50 Years, The Ontario Finnish Resthome Has Been Homes with a Heart.
For over half a century, the Ontario Finnish Resthome (OFRA) has remained the number one choice for seniors’ accommodations in the Sault Ste. Marie area, offering multi-level care and essential support services in an environment rooted in dignity, compassion, and the highest quality of care.
Thanks to the generosity of our community, our Foundation has raised millions to support our residents through upgraded equipment, recreational programming, and essential improvements to our facilities.
With last year’s success, new furnishings were added to Mauno Kaihla Koti, and our residents are now enjoying more comfort, accessibility, and connection in their shared spaces.
Now, it’s Kotitalo’s turn.
The funds raised on September 20th at The Grand Parade will go directly toward new furnishings in the Kotitalo Dining Area—creating a more comfortable and accessible space where our residents can gather, dine, and connect. These furnishing upgrades will include supportive dining chairs and updated, inviting seating for shared spaces.
Be a part of our “Homes with a Heart.”
Join The Grand Parade as a Team Captain, walk with friends and family, or support someone who’s walking. Every step you take helps us build a better home for our seniors—because your heart makes it their home.
Stroll through the OFRA campus and see our four buildings that house three different levels of care, followed by a straight stretch down a quiet residential street and back.
