Ron Smith residents enjoy laughter, games and sweet surprises
Easter at Ron Smith Care Centre was filled with laughter, fun, creativity, and chocolate Easter eggs. The celebrations were in full swing when the residents participated in an Easter egg game. Residents and staff were adorned with flowery Easter bonnets. Each resident had the chance to roll the large, colourful dice to find out what prize they would win.

The halls of RSCC were filled with laughter and singing as residents walked around in search of their prizes. Chocolate eggs were devoured throughout the care centre as each resident received a bag filled with chocolates. The bags themselves were handmade by the residents a week before the festivities.

Bunnies, Bonnets, Brights and Blooms at New York's Easter Parade
The hats were back out at the Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival in New York City on Sunday. Up and down Fifth Avenue in Midtown, spectators and Easter revelers alike were treated to a crowd wearing the most colorful costumes, and Sunday best, imaginable. The notable looks were plenty, from many variations of bunny to botanical confections and great sartorial tailoring harking back to the Jazz Age. And though there were also some elements of steam punk here and there, this year's edition of the parade was light on genre concepts such as science fiction and fantasy. Overall, the day was a perfect bookend to a weekend of some incredible weather and summerlike vibes that permeated throughout the city.

NYC Easter Parade 2025 is this weekend. When and where to see the colorful hats.
New York City's Easter Parade is stepping off this weekend, as a crowd wearing colorful hats will line Fifth Avenue for the procession and Bonnet Festival. Paradegoers will don their most festive headwear and march by St. Patrick's Cathedral, an Easter Sunday tradition that dates back to the 1870s, according to the city. The parade steps off at 10 a.m. on Easter Sunday, which this year falls on April 20, and usually ends around 4 p.m. It marches north on Fifth Avenue, from 49th Street to 57th. Parade organizers say the best place to watch is from the area around St. Patrick's Cathedral between 50th and 51st, but anyone can put on a bonnet and march. Click here for a look at some of the colorful attire worn during the 2024 parade. St. Patrick's Cathedral has Masses planned all day on Easter Sunday in 2025. The first starts at 7 a.m. and last at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are required for the 10 a.m. Mass, the Cathedral says . The 4 p.m. service will be in Spanish. Easter wraps up Holy Week celebrations, which started with Palm Sunday on April 13. Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the archbishop of New York, attended Catholic Charities annual food distribution event in the Bronx on Holy Thursday, and on Good Friday a crowd marched over the Brooklyn Bridge in the Ways of the Cross procession.
