Ryman-Funded Restoration Work Recognised
It was a very special weekend for Ryman Healthcare’s Jane Winstone Retirement Village as the restoration work on the iconic chapel was recognised in the Whanganui Regional Heritage Awards.
The village, located on Oakland Avenue, Whanganui, is unique in Ryman’s portfolio. The village was built on the historic Sacred Heart College site and included a very special chapel in need of some repair.
The chapel was built in 1918 but closed in 2012 for extensive strengthening work. Ryman Healthcare paid for the $1 million restoration as part of its commitment to the Sisters of St Joseph when it took over guardianship of the building.

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.
