We were thrilled to cheer on TeleMiracle once again this year as part of their amazing Hype Squad! Our residents and Recreation team hit the stage in full Olympic‑themed gear, bringing all the energy during the knockdown. 📣

A heartfelt thank you to the incredible friends, families, and supporters of Elmwood who contributed to our fundraiser. Thanks to your generosity, we raised an amazing $3,680 for TeleMiracle! 💖

Stay tuned for our Rec Update later in the month to see photos from our own Olympic Games-a-thon, in support of TeleMiracle! ✨

If you joined us at last year’s Elmwood Fall Feast, you’ll remember the incredible one‑of‑a‑kind art piece created by Elmwood residents that was featured in the auction. It was a real showstopper, becoming our top item of the night! 🎨

We’re thrilled to announce that another resident‑made masterpiece will be featured in this year’s Fall Feast auction, and Elmwood’s talented Art Club has been hard at work bringing it to life.

We couldn’t resist sharing a little sneak peek… 👀

Stay tuned for the full reveal at the Elmwood Fall Feast on October 8th, 2026!

What is legacy giving?

Legacy giving, also called planned giving, is the meaningful act of including a gift to a charity in your Will. 💖

Most people picture legacy giving as a simple line in a Will:
“I leave $_____ to __________ charity.” Or “I give ___% of the residue of my estate to ______ charity.”

This type of gift is known as a bequest, and while it’s the most common form of legacy giving, it’s just one of many ways to make a lasting impact. ✨

Legacy giving can also include:
• Life Insurance: Naming a non-profit as a beneficiary on your policy.
• RRSPs/RRIFs: Using your retirement savings as you choose, with the option to direct any unused assets to charity.
• Securities: Donating stocks, bonds, or mutual funds for a tax efficient way to give back.

Legacy giving looks different for everyone but there are plenty of resources to help you explore your options. 🫶

Elmwood is proud to partner with Will Power: Change the World with your Will, a national awareness campaign inspiring Canadians to rethink how they support the causes they care about, both today and through their Wills.

Stay tuned for Part 2 of our legacy giving series next week!

Please join us in recognizing Brenda for reaching her goal of taking part in more one‑on‑one programming with our Community Inclusion Program (CIP) team! 💖

One of the special things about CIP is the opportunity for personalized, one‑on‑one activities twice a week - perfect for residents who enjoy more individualized experiences. For Brenda, that often means baking, manicures, and arts and crafts!

She especially loves her at‑home manicures, always paired with a Tim Hortons coffee. Brenda is passionate about her love for the colour purple and she almost always chooses a beautiful shade of purple nail polish. 💅

The CIP team looks forward to the big smile on her face whenever the nail supplies come out and the excitement she has in showing off the final look.

Congratulations, Brenda, on achieving your goal! ✨

Elmwood’s Supportive Independent Living Program (SILP) crew enjoyed a slower start to the year with a laid-back January. ✨

Regular activities were in full swing, with Coffee Group once again being a favourite. Participants also kept moving with weekly swimming at the city’s indoor pools and walks through Market Mall.

Craft Club was especially busy in January, creating beautiful artwork including the Valentine’s Day cards we shared last Friday. 🎨

With the hockey season in full swing, SILP also enjoyed their own Hockey Night at Sports on Tap.

Everyone is excited for even more activities and fun in the coming months! 💖

Say hello to our February VIP, Don N.! 👋

Don has been part of the Elmwood family since the spring of 1992, joining us alongside his brother Richard. He first called Kinsmen Manor home, and in 2024 he moved into his new Community Home as part of the Manor Transition Initiative.

Don loves to stay busy and is always curious about what’s happening around the house. He’s known for his friendly nature - calling everyone “buddy” - and for sharing lots of laughs with both friends and staff. 💖

You’ll often spot Don carrying something with him, whether it’s his notebook or a program from a recent event. And of course, he never says no to a good cup of coffee!

Don’s easygoing, carefree attitude makes him a joy to be around. It doesn’t take much to bring a smile to his face, but nothing beats the moment he sees Santa - he lights up, gives the biggest hug, and smiles from ear to ear! 🎅

Thank you, Don, for always brightening our days and bringing a smile to our faces!

Four years ago, at the beginning of the Manor Transition Initiative, we launched Future Focus - our e‑newsletter designed to keep families, friends, and the entire Elmwood community connected to the journey ahead. The goal was to share what’s next and celebrate what we’ve accomplished together. 💖

Today, we’re proud to reflect on how far we’ve come. Four homes are now open and thriving, with two more on the way. As the initiative nears completion, we’re also looking toward the next exciting chapter in Elmwood’s story: the Community Hub.

Just as we did throughout the Manor Transition Initiative, we’re committed to keeping you informed every step of the way. That’s why Future Focus now includes regular updates on the Community Hub Project, so you can follow along as this vision takes shape. ✨

If you haven’t subscribed yet and want to stay in the loop as the Hub moves forward, head to https://www.elmwoodyxe.ca/subscribe-to-e-newsletter/ to sign up for Future Focus today!
