Try a meditation workshop to help quiet a busy mind or meet the companion animals who regularly visit our residence. Join your fellow vocalists for fun sing-alongs, 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.
