Participate in our engaging activities

Our activity calendar is proof that we understand that our residents are a diverse group with varied interests. We offer a range of planned activities, which are a great place to meet new friends. If you love to stay active, you’ll find exercise classes ranging from Tai Chi to Rhythm ‘N’ Moves, a resident favourite featuring movement and music. Try our FitMinds program if you’re looking to keep your brain sharp, or enjoy our local visitors, from musical acts to guest speakers to companion dogs. We also offer day trips to enjoy shopping, outings to local attractions, or cultural destinations.

The choice is always up to you. You may end your day in our gorgeous greenhouse or playing cards. Or maybe you’d prefer a morning in the library, afternoon in the pub playing billiards, then taking in a comedy in our screening room.

Explore our variety of on-site amenities

Our pool has everything you need for a great water fitness workout. Our pub is always buzzing with activity, from card games to darts, alongside a cold glass of beer. Bake up your signature pie or cookies in our country kitchen, or sip a perfectly brewed tea in our bistro. The exercise room is thoughtfully outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment to keep you fit, all with a nice view of the garden. Our movie theatre is the site of many cozy matinees and educational presentations, and you’ll find artistic workshops and more in the activity room. We even have an on-site hair salon for you to get a quick trim or a new look.

If you want to experience what it’s like to live in our retirement residence, there’s no better way than joining us for an activity or outing. It would be our pleasure to host you for an activity that appeals to your interests or have our Lifestyle & Programs Manager walk you through a sample of a senior living monthly activity calendar!
