Campbell River resident Mary Leskiw turned 100 on Tuesday.

Ironwood Place, the assisted living facility where she lives, celebrated her entry into the hundred-year club with a party on April 18.

Mayor Andy Adams attended the party, and gave Leskiw a shout-out at this week’s council meeting during his Mayor’s Report.

“She is still very spry and it was just a treat to be there and see everyone having a great time,” Adams said. “One hundred years, that’s just amazing.”

Joel Chambers, activity coordinator at Ironwood Place, said about 40 residents and 25 family members attended the party last week.
