Marguerite Centre Staff are some of the nicest people...
 
From baking cookies to gardening(and everything else in between) our staff are some of the nicest people you will meet. Guests notice from the moment they come in the building, that the atmosphere of welcome and hospitality is to be found at every turn. That's the work of people, the people who cook the food, set the table, make the beds, clean and do all of the little extras that make our guests feel welcome, safe and at peace. Over forty-five people work at the Centre...we hope you'll get a chance to meet them soon!
