🎯 Claude has been passionate about darts for over 40 years. More than a hobby, it’s a way of life. His dream? To attend the prestigious Toronto Area Open, a tournament he’s followed for years but never experienced in person.

Thanks to Chartwell Wish of a Lifetime - Rêver pour la vie, Claude and his wife travelled from Quebec to Toronto for a thrilling weekend surrounded by the sport he loves. From watching top matches to meeting his favourite players, every moment was filled with joy, connection, and pride.

Happy !

Grandparents are the storytellers, the wisdom-keepers, and the gentle hands that guide with love. They remind us of where we come from, inspire us with their resilience, and shower us with unconditional care.

At Chartwell, family is at the heart of everything we do. Grandchildren and loved ones are always welcome — not just today, but every day. After all, the joy of a visit, a hug, or a shared laugh is timeless.

Here’s to the grandparents who shape our lives in ways words can’t express. 💕
