Team Canada played with grit and heart, the way we are made 🇨🇦🏒

The game today may not have been the outcome we wished for, but the Canadian athletes made us proud 👏

We are Nova Scotians with hockey in our veins. We are Canadians who LOVE our winter sports!

Here, at one of our Small Community Living Options Homes, staff and residents come together to cheer on their favorite team.....and share in the outcome😪 No worries, we celebrate anyway because we are fans and fans never give up 🥰

What a Fabulous Friday at Balsam!

Today is National Care Givers Day, where we recognize the support and excellent care our staff provide to persons served. It doesn't matter what the job is, all staff provide care and compassion in a variety of ways, and we celebrate that 🎉

The management team at Balsam provided lunch to all staff as our thanks for their commitment to the health and well being of people served. YOU ARE APPRECIATED 👏 ❤️ With several programs, providing support, we have a diverse staff with extraordinary skills.

The ARC provides a safe space for people to call home with 24/7 clinical and residential support to meet complex needs. Staff are often considered family to those who live at the ARC 🫂

Small Community Living Options Homes provide a level of independent living while providing 24/7 support in the home to meet the needs of those living together (up to four people) as they learn how to live in the community and transition to full independent living when ready to do so.

Independent Living Support is a program for those living independently in their own apartment or with roommates in the community of their choosing. This program provides support staff to ensure people learn life skills as they navigate independent living.

LITES (Learning Independence Through Everyday Skills) is our quality day program, providing support and skill building to those in community and living in one of Balsam's home programs.

And of course....we are Winter Olympics fans! 🥉🏅🏆⛸️🎿🏒 We are TEAM 🇨🇦 🍁 We are Nova Scotians, so we love our winter sports! We are cheering for our Nova Scotian athletes as they represent us in their chosen sport.

Do you enjoy going out to eat with your significant other? We do too 🥰

Do you enjoy choosing what you want for lunch, even if it comes in a bucket? We do too 🦪🍤

We enjoy lunch dates, ordering food, making conversation with wait staff, and being in the community every day.

While in the community, we learn about food/menu choices, budgeting, tipping, and social norms of restaurant services.

We look forward to seeing you soon while enjoying a meal in the community 😀

Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day ❤️

At Balsam, we show acts of kindness each day through caring for others. 🫂

Walking with a friend and helping them meet their exercise goals is being kind and supportive.🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

Reading with a friend promotes positive relationships while helping with language skills. 📖📒

Sharing conversation and coffee with peers shows kindness by offering to be a coffee buddy in the community. ☕️🍩

Cooking and baking for housemates shows caring and compassion for those we share space with. 💕 🥧🥘

Random acts of kindness....an everyday experience 🥰

61 years ago (1965) was the debut of the red and white colored flag displaying the maple leaf at Parliament Hill, honoring unity, belonging, and Canadian values.

On this Valentine Saturday, we are busy baking up some goodies in our new Hub kitchen space.🍪

With a larger space to create and enhance our culinary experiences, we learn valuable life skills while living independently supported in the community 😊

Today, we learned how to bake a Maritime specialty...oat cakes 😋

Who likes oat cakes?
