During Active Aging Week, our community enjoyed a fun-filled bowling outing with our sister community, V!VA Waterside, where a little friendly competition kept spirits high!

Meanwhile, a few of our talented knitting group members proudly visited CHEO to donate hand made hats for the NICU babies - a heartfelt project they’ve been working on for months.

Active Aging Week is all about showcasing the vitality and impact of older adults through wellness, engagement, and purpose. Throughout September, we had a special initiative to boost participation in our fitness classes - including a raffle prize for those who joined in on the fun ☺️We also unveiled a new feedback board, featuring real comments from those using the space. Check it out!!

Thanks to all who participated in the fun! 🎳🧘🏼‍♀️🧡

They shared valuable insights on fraud prevention - including how to recognize common scams, tips to avoid becoming a victim, and what steps to take if you suspect you've been targeted.

We truly appreciate the time and expertise the OPS team provided to help keep us informed and protected! 🚓
