🚴‍♂️💙🧡 Pedals with Purpose! 💙🧡🚴‍♀️

On September 7, 2025, Team V!VA proudly took part in the Ride for Kayla’s Children Centre (KCC) — and what an amazing day it was!

This ride was more than just a cycling event — it was a celebration of community, heart, and the incredible legacy of Eli Marder, whose passion for helping children continues to inspire us all. 🙌

🎉 Huge shoutout to our superstar riders:
✨ Deepak Bhatia – Community Director @ V!VA Mississauga and second-time rider, who blazed through the finish line early!
✨ Breanna DiPaolo
✨ Mateo Arellano

You represented V!VA with energy, pride, and big smiles — and we couldn’t be prouder! 😄💪

Together, we’re helping make a difference for children with special needs and their families. Thank you to KCC for the incredible work you do — and thank you to our riders for showing what it means to live the spirit! 💙🧡

Over the many years since V!VA was founded, I have had the opportunity to speak with hundreds of people who have made the decision to call a V!VA retirement community their home. The one thing I hear again and again is “I wish I had moved here sooner!”

Moving at any age is a big decision, especially when leaving a beloved family home where great memories were made. And yet, one after another, our Community Members say they wish they had not waited as long as they did to make the move to V!VA.

Simply put, they are Happier Here™ at V!VA than they were before. They no longer worry about household chores or grocery shopping. They can focus on doing the things that make them smile, like spending more time with friends and family, or exploring a new hobby. All while surrounded by a warm, caring team who truly has their best interest at heart.

We are so confident that you or your loved ones will be Happier Here too, that we’ve put it in writing with our Happier Here™ Guarantee. If you’re not satisfied with any aspect of your V!VA experience, and we can’t make it better, we’ll help you find your happiness somewhere else.

It’s really that simple. Contact your local V!VA Retirement Community to learn more about how you can be Happier Here™ too.

We look forward to seeing you soon,
