Activities & Amenities at Chartwell Rouge Valley in Markham

Our activity calendar has been carefully curated to appeal to our residents’ wide variety of interests, needs, and cultural backgrounds. Our team is passionate about creating opportunities for you to enjoy life whether your definition of fun is learning new things, re-discovering favourite hobbies, or connecting with friends for lively conversations or shared pastimes. Our festivities on special occasions like Chinese New Year and Asian Heritage Month always leave lasting memories. Every social and recreational activity is voluntary, so you’re welcome to join as much or as little as you like knowing you can always explore the residence amenities for casual social gatherings, too.

Participate in our engaging activities

There’s a world of activity options waiting outside your suite door. Do you like to exercise? We have gentle yoga and tai chi to clear your mind and help with everything from strength to balance. Our Rhythm ‘N’ Moves classes are a fun, music-driven way for all levels of ability to enjoy movement. Join our walking group for strolls around our beautiful grounds and neighbourhood.

Try a meditation workshop to help quiet a busy mind or meet the companion animals who regularly visit our residence. Get competitive with a fun game of Mahjong, or work with your fellow green-thumbed residents in our gardens. Meet other sports fans while watching the Jays or Leafs play or enjoy popcorn while taking in a fascinating documentary and the latest episode of your favourite TV shows in our movie theatre. We even have bus trips to visit local shops, attractions, and restaurants.
