NHCI’s NIDO Pot Dance and Drum program continues to bring music, movement, and cultural connection to retirement communities 🥁✨
On November 15, 2025, NHCI delivered a NIDO Pot Dance and Drum session at Woods Park Community & Retirement Living in Barrie. The session was led by Justine Birabwa, Programs Manager, alongside pot dancer Flavia Priscilla Nakate. Paula Ballantyne, Resident Engagement Manager at Woods Park Community & Retirement Living, whose support helped make the session a meaningful experience for residents.
This session was delivered with the support of a volunteer, as part of our ongoing partnerships that help strengthen programs such as Suubi and Pot Dance. As these programs continue to grow, adjudicators are also seeking volunteer participation to support future initiatives.
Through drumming, movement, and cultural storytelling, residents experienced joy, creativity, and meaningful connection.
