An annual report for the Fairview Mennonite Home, a senior retirement care facility in Cambridge, Ontario, which, following on from the previous year (having received much affirmation), was produced in a quarter-fold poster format.
For the 1976 report, the visual focus shifted to that of the quality of life offered at Fairview. A 100 year old resident, Mrs Almeta Bruacher, is featured in large scale, holding her 33rd great-grandchild. A fitting metaphor for the theme of the report.
The home is now named ‘Fairview Seniors Community’, and after over 75 years of service continues to meet the visions and needs of current and future tenants. A crude version of the symbol is still used by the organization.
