For one afternoon, our atrium became a buzzing bumper car arena as students from École Riverview School took to the floor.

The result? Pandemonium (the good kind). Residents cheered from the sidelines and laughter filled the hall. Afterward, students proudly presented their handmade "novel boxes" to residents, each one bursting with creativity and personality. It was the perfect way to wrap up the day -- we’d even say it was a smash hit 💥

This is what community looks like and none of it happens without you. Your support fuels moments like these. Thank you for making the magic possible.

Kaitlyn couldn’t walk when she arrived at Riverview. Now, she’s back every year at Cycle on Life, on her feet and cheering as a member of the Blue Bomber's official drumline. 🥁💙💛

After a serious motor vehicle accident, Kaitlyn came to Riverview unable to walk and struggling with speech. Through specialized rehabilitation, she worked her way back step by step, regaining her strength, her voice, and her independence.

Since then, she hasn’t missed a Cycle on Life. “That’s the one drumline event that I make sure I’m available for every year,” she says. “Riverview was such a big part of my life and my recovery. The day is always so special.”

In addition to performing at Bomber games and events, she’s a university student, a bassist in a rock band, a rhythmic gymnast, and a tutor teaching multiple languages. She lives a full and active life made possible through the care she received.

When you join Cycle on Life, you help make sure people like Kaitlyn have access to the rehabilitation and care they need.

Join us this year and you'll not only make a difference, but also get to catch Kaitlyn on the snare!

Judith is always on the move. Morning exercise class, lunch with friends, an afternoon performance, cards before dinner. "I'm just on the run all the time," she says with a smile.

But she'll also tell you about the quiet afternoons with her husband, back when he was still here. How they'd attend the musical performances Riverview put on.

Robert loved music, and the concerts here were something they enjoyed. Being at Riverview together meant they got to be close during his final years, with days that were as busy or as quiet as they wanted them to be.

She still goes to concerts. Sometimes she closes her eyes during a piece Robert loved and pretends he's still here.

Your generous support helps Judith live like this, fully and on her terms, in a place that knew Robert, knows her, and lets her live life the way she wants to live it.

There's an iron lung sitting inside Riverview's Heritage Museum, and rumour has it, it still works!

That's just one of the fascinating artifacts waiting to be discovered, tucked inside the Princess Elizabeth Administration Building. From a ceremonial shovel used to break ground to antique china stamped with the original hospital crest to vintage medical textbooks, every piece tells part of a story that began in 1911.

A lot has changed since then. But Riverview's commitment to putting residents and patients first never has.

Stop by and see for yourself! You might be surprised by what you discover.

A figure skater. A business owner. An artist. When they moved to Riverview, life stayed vibrant and full.

That's what the Therapeutic Recreation team wanted the world to see. So they grabbed their cameras and started filming.

Their documentary, A New Beginning, explores residents' rich personal histories and their full lives today. Andre, creating kaleidoscopic artwork that fills the halls. Carol, back on the ice with her son and grandson, offering tips as they skate together. Others tending to gardens, heading out for lunch around town, playing pinball with friends.

Their days are full, chosen, and theirs. And many of the programs and events that fill those days are made possible by you, our generous donors.

Candice, Stephen, and Brittany premiered their film at the Park Theatre last winter, but if you missed it, don't worry. You can watch it on YouTube or on the Riverview homepage and see what your generosity makes possible.

Want to get a mid-range bike ride in while doing some good? The 20 km route at Cycle on Life is a great option.

It’s ideal for novice to intermediate riders who want a bit more distance while still enjoying the day.

Before and after the ride, spend some time on the Riverview grounds connecting with residents, fellow riders, volunteers, and families who make the day so special.

Ride at your own pace, take in the views, and know that every kilometre helps support care and comfort for residents at Riverview.

Registration is open. Sign up today! 🚲 https://loom.ly/Q8fvY1g

Two hours disappeared one afternoon, in the best way possible. 🍀

Katherine, a therapeutic recreational facilitator at Riverview, hosted a spring ladies' brunch for residents in honour of St. Patrick's Day. She set the table to make it feel like somewhere special.

They gathered around reminiscing about spring. They talked about things they used to do when the weather turned, the routines they look forward to, what they love about the season. Then came St. Patrick's Day trivia and stories that led to more stories.

"Before we knew it, two hours had passed," said Katherine. "That's what happens when we all get together. There's always lots to talk about."

It was one of many St. Patrick's Day celebrations this month at the centre. There were musical performances, treats, and gatherings. Moments that remind everyone there's always something to look forward to, all made possible by your support of the Riverview Health Centre Foundation.

The e-cards feature art inspired by the grounds surrounding the centre. The same trees, paths, and gardens that residents and patients have walked through for generations.

A simple way to honour someone. And to help others in their name.
