On World Indigenous Peoples Day, Chartwell honours the cultures and contributions of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples across Canada.

At Chartwell Allandale Station in Barrie, ON, residents had the opportunity to learn from two Indigenous cultural educators: Alyssa, whose traditional name is Medicine Spirit, and Naomi, whose traditional name is Great Singer. They generously shared traditional stories and dances with the community.

We remain committed to reconciliation, respect, and continued learning.

Debbie has always loved the magic of theatre. Thanks to Chartwell Wish of a Lifetime - Rêver pour la vie, her wish to see a major live production finally came true.

Joined by her son, daughter-in-law, and two grandsons, Debbie kicked off the night with dinner at La Fenice before taking in The Lion King at the Princess of Wales Theatre. Surrounded by family and swept up in the wonder of the show, it was a night she’ll never forget.

In honour of Friendship Day, we’re celebrating the inspiring story of Iliene and Ruth.

At Chartwell Carrington Place in Vernon, BC, friendship truly makes a difference. Known as the dynamic duo, Iliene and Ruth's story began six years ago when Iliene moved in, feeling nervous on her first day. Ruth's warm sense of humour put her at ease, sparking a close bond. When Ruth later lost her husband, Iliene, who had faced a similar loss, was there to support her.

Now, they're active at every event, showing how meaningful connections and caring friendships enrich life at any age.

Kyla Krawczyk, the General Manager at Chartwell Allandale Station in Barrie, ON, just swam 1.5 km across Kempenfelt Bay, all to support Chartwell Wish of a Lifetime - Rêver pour la vie!

Inspired by one of her residents who completed the same swim at age 60, Kyla set a fundraising goal of $4,000 to help grant meaningful wishes to seniors across Canada and she has surpassed it, raising over $8,000!

Kyla has seen firsthand how powerful a wish can be, with four residents in her own home having their lives touched by the charity’s mission. Her passion and commitment remind us of the impact one person can make.
