Lest We Forget.
On this November 11, we honour the brave men and women who served and continue to serve our country with courage, sacrifice, and dedication.
We remember those who gave their lives for our freedom, those who returned forever changed, and the families who stood beside them.
At Whitehorn Village, we proudly honour our veterans and reflect with gratitude on their sacrifices. May we never take for granted the peace and freedoms we enjoy today.
We remember. We honour. We thank you.

Meet Elmer — 103 years young and proudly representing Alberta from his Calgary Legion in Ottawa this Remembrance Day. 🇨🇦 Keep an eye out for him during the ceremonies!
Here he is cheering on his beloved Toronto Blue Jays — a team he’s supported faithfully for as long as anyone can remember. Elmer has watched every game this season and never misses a chance to cheer them on. 💙⚾️
We can officially say he’s the Blue Jays’ number one — and oldest — fan! What an incredible spirit and a true inspiration. Go Jays Go! 🙌💙 Congratulations to the winning team! ❤️

INDEPENDENT LIVING
Independent living is for seniors who are able to live on their own, but want the convenience of communal living. Many studies have proven the benefits of living in a community as people age, and how it positively contributes to active aging and living. Independent living communities, like Origin Active Living Communities, provide a variety of amenities and services designed to nurture the mind, body, and spirit. Learn more about independent living, here.
ASSISTED LIVING
Assisted Living communities are designed for seniors who are able to remain independent and active, but need a helping hand. While residents can use all of a community’s amenities just as independent living residents, they also have the added services of assistance with the activities of daily living. Click here to discover more.
MEMORY CARE
Memory care communities meet the needs of individuals living with memory impairment such as Alzheimer’s Disease, a form of dementia. They offer a secure environment, designed to engage and care for people living with memory impairments. Similar to assisted living, they offer resort-style amenities and services, assistance with the activities of daily living, but with the added benefits of around the clock care, specially trained staff, and activities specifically designed for engagement.
