Yesterday, we celebrated Holi — the vibrant Festival of Colours!

Holi is a joyful spring festival celebrated in many parts of the world, particularly in India and Nepal. It symbolizes the victory of good over evil and welcomes the arrival of spring. Across different religions and cultures, it’s a time of unity, forgiveness, laughter, and of course… lots of colour!

Our morning began with an informative presentation about Holi and how it is celebrated in different religions and around the world. In the afternoon, the real fun began! Residents and team members enjoyed throwing colourful powders, sampling drinks representing different colours, including a delicious mango lassi made by our wonderful cook Amita, and dancing to lively music together.

A big thank you to Recreation Team members Jasmeet and Ravinder for planning such a meaningful and joyful day.

Happy Holi to all who celebrate!

Today we officially launched our 2026 Aspiration: Building Cross Functional Teams! 💙

Tuesdays are more than just a day to wear a special t-shirt; they’re a reminder that we’re working toward something bigger. Collaboration across roles helps us truly put living first each and every day.

We celebrated with delicious cake and took time to write our personal commitments to working cross-functionally. Because when we work together, we create something truly special for those who call our Village home.

Here’s to teamwork, shared goals, and putting living first — together!

According to lore, back in 1445, a woman heard the church bells ring while she was still cooking pancakes! With no time to spare, she ran to church—frying pan in hand—flipping her pancake as she went. 🥞✨

That whimsical tradition lives on every year on Shrove Tuesday, and today Town Square was filled with that same joyful spirit! From pancake racing to flipping (and even throwing!), the laughter and friendly competition made for such a fun afternoon.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Pancake Tuesday and made it such a sweet success. Who knew throwing pancakes could be this much fun?

Meet Geoff 💪 He has been working hard with Moses, our PAL (Program for Active Living) Kinesiologist, on gaining strength to stand on his own again.

They have been using the Sit to Stand Trainer and today was a personal best for Geoff! When we first met Geoff, he was rehabilitating in the hospital and needed 2 people to assist with his ADL’s.

Today Geoff is standing with the help of the Neurogymtech and our PAL team!
