This is Ed, one of our residents at The Bentley Yorkton. In his younger years, Ed played university football in Regina before eventually moving to Yorkton. In 1958, the Yorkton Regina High School football team advanced to the Championship Finals, but faced one significant challenge: they had no equipment.

Drawing on his connections in Regina, Ed was able to secure a full set of used gear from the Roughriders, ensuring the high school team could take the field. The leather helmet he’s holding is a cherished memento from that remarkable year.

Along with fellow residents, Ed watched the Roughriders take home the Grey Cup this past weekend.

At Alta Vista retirement residence, Halloween is all about the community and the spirit of togetherness. This week, the team hosted an Intergenerational Halloween Concert, bringing together residents and local families for a festive afternoon of music and connection. A local musician entertained guests with family-friendly Halloween songs, while children and parents joined residents in dancing and enjoying themed treats. The highlight of the day was the children’s trick-or-treating throughout the residence, which brought smiles and joy to both young and old alike.

On September 24, The Bentley Regina team whipped up some fun with a Milkshakes and Mustaches fundraiser for prostate cancer, and on October 16, they turned the residence pink in support of breast cancer awareness!

Together, this amazing community raised over $1,800 for the Cancer Foundation of Saskatchewan. These funds will go toward mobile cancer screening right in the province.

Thank you to everyone who helped make these events such a success. What a great way to have fun while supporting a cause that touches so many!

Today, we celebrate the heart of every family - grandparents. Their wisdom, kindness, stories and unconditional love make the world brighter for all of us.

At Cogir Senior Living, we’re proud to see the joy, laughter, and inspiration that grandparents bring to our residences every single day. From teaching us life lessons to sharing cherished traditions, they remind us what truly matters.

Here’s to grandparents, the keepers of memories and makers of new ones. Happy National Grandparents' Day!

What an unforgettable day at Sharon Corners Retirement Residence!

They were thrilled to welcome East Gwillimbury hometown hero, Sam Bennett of the Florida Panthers, fresh off his Stanley Cup victory. Residents and team members alike were overjoyed to meet Sam, celebrate his incredible achievement, and even get up close with hockey’s most coveted prize.

From sharing behind-the-scenes championship stories to taking photos (and even touching the Cup!), the visit was filled with pride, nostalgia, and pure joy. For many lifelong hockey fans, it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

A huge thank you to Sam for bringing not just the Cup, but also his warmth, generosity and community spirit to our home. These memories will be treasured forever.

At Lynwood Park, residents are celebrated as individuals with unique stories, passions, and dreams. Through the 'Living Dreams' initiative, those dreams are brought to life in meaningful ways.

Recently, Karen fulfilled her lifelong love of music by attending a Jann Arden concert with her granddaughter, while Ernest, a vintage car enthusiast, enjoyed a ride in a restored 1932 Auburn.

Lynwood Park continues to create unforgettable moments that reconnect residents with the things they love most.
