🍦✨ Celebrating a Sweet Legacy! ✨🍦

Today we are recognizing our very own Resident, Larry Stacey, and his daughter Jenn, as they celebrate 15 years in operation of Jenn & Larry’s Ice Cream Shoppe here in Stratford! 🎉

Larry’s story with ice cream began way back in 1967 with Larry & Gail’s Drive-In, where his famous hand-spun malt milkshakes first became “legend-dairy.” That same passion for quality and community carried forward when Jenn and Larry opened their riverside shop on York Street in 2010. Since then, they’ve become a Stratford treasure—earning titles like Ontario’s Best Milkshake, Stratford’s Favourite Ice Cream, and Best of Ontario Ice Cream Parlour. 🍨🏆

We’re so grateful to have Larry as part of our Woodland Towers community. Always friendly, he even came to lunch today dressed in his ice cream shoppe outfit before heading back to serve milkshakes at the store—living proof that his passion for people and sweetness hasn’t slowed down one bit!

Congratulations, Larry and Jenn, on 15 years of serving up joy (and ice cream!) to Stratford. Here’s to many more years of scoops, shakes, and smiles! 💙

Rainy Days Won’t Stop the Fun at Spruce Lodge! ☔🐾

A big thank-you to Little Tracks Petting Zoo for bringing their adorable pocket pets to us last Tuesday afternoon! 🌟

Due to the rain, we moved the program indoors — but that didn’t stop us from having a wonderful time meeting the sweetest bunnies, friendly chickens, and even a soft and curious chinchilla! 🐇🐔🐭

What a heartwarming and fun way to spend a rainy day. Thank you again to Little Tracks for making the afternoon so special! 🥰

A huge thank-you to Ramone and Rachel from Stonetown Cheese for coordinating such an incredible outing to their farm! They went above and beyond — even setting up tables in their receiving bay so we could enjoy our picnic lunch together.

After lunch, we watched a fantastic video showing how their award-winning cheese is made, followed by a tasting of five delicious cheeses! We toured the cheese holding rooms, learned all about production, and then hopped on the bus for a guided tour of the farm with farmer Stefan and his daughter Madelyn.

We asked lots of questions, saw a baby duck, two friendly Bernese Mountain dogs, and even watched our amazing bus driver Irene drive right through the barn! We finished our day with a stop at the cheese shop — and just before heading home, we were surprised with a visit from four adorable baby kittens brought over by Madelyn and her brother.

It was a day full of surprises, learning, and fun — one we’ll never forget. Thank you to the amazing team at Stonetown Cheese for making it so special!

Hi Everyone! We wanted to make sure that you were aware of this change. Due to the extreme heat and potential for rain in the forecast today, we have decided to move the Petting Zoo indoors to the Spruce Lodge Living Room. We still welcome family and friends to come see the "pocket pets" at 2:00pm!

🍉 We had a sweet time at our Watermelon Social today! The watermelon was juicy and delicious, and the smiles were even sweeter. 🎶 We sang along to “The Watermelon Crawl” — and there was even a little dancing! A big thank you to Bob Lauze and Jim Ryan for the fantastic live entertainment that made the day even more special. Also Happy 67th Anniversary to Bernice and Jerry Richards - it was lovely to see you dance to your favourite song! Thanks to everyone who joined in the fun! 💃🕺🍉

The Woodland Towers residents had an amazing time at their picnic in the park, followed by a fantastic performance from the Stratford Concert Band! 🎶🌳

The music was incredible — with a medley from Jurassic Park, Annie the Musical, and The Beatles! To top it off, during intermission we were treated to a special appearance by the Stratford Police Pipes and Drums Band along with Highland Dancers. What a fun and unforgettable afternoon! 💃🥁

A huge thank you to J***y and Debora for an absolutely fantastic Term-End Music Therapy Group Concert! 🎶💐 It was such a joyful and meaningful event. Seeing the residents perform for their family, friends, and peers was truly special.

From the Woodland Towers Ukulele Group and the Community Choir to the wonderful solo and accompanied performances — every moment was filled with heart and harmony. Thank you for bringing us all together through music! 💛🎤🎵
