McKenzie Towne residents enjoyed taking part in our own Terry Fox walk yesterday. First they did a loop around Promenade Park and proceeded to carry on around Inverness Pond. They were all smiles and loved the nice fresh weather.

One of the great things about living here at McKenzie Towne is the beautiful Inverness Pond directly across the road from us. Our residents regularly enjoy going for walks around it or simply sitting and enjoying the view from the benches.

There was a little bit of magic happening at McKenzie Towne!

Amy traded in her Executive Director hat for her Pastry Chef hat and got to work creating these beautiful Apple Rose Pastries.

Thinly sliced apples, a touch of cinnamon and sugar, and flaky puff pastry were transformed into these gorgeous little treats — all baked right in a muffin tin to help them keep their beautiful rose shape.

The result? Crispy, golden pastry, tender cinnamon-spiced apples, and a whole lot of “WOW!”

We’re not saying Amy needs to give up her day job… but we may have just discovered a future career in the pastry department!

That’s the best thing about Amy’s Bake Lab — a little creativity, a few delicious ingredients, and lots of fun along the way.

And, of course, the most important part of any Bake Lab experiment…
Taste testing!

What a day in Kananaskis!

A few of our McKenzie Towne crew headed out to Kananaskis Village for the day, and judging by the photos, it was a pretty good way to spend the afternoon.

We stopped for lunch, took some time to wander around the village, check out the scenery and just enjoyed being somewhere a little different for the day.

The mountains certainly didn’t disappoint, really do they ever? Everyone had a great time together and there were plenty of laughs all day long.

And because no McKenzie Towne outing is complete without a full accounting at the end of the day…

No bears joined the group.
Nobody got left behind in Kananaskis.
And we came home with the same number of residents we left with.
I think we can call that a successful day out!

Nine couples. 60 years of love. One very special celebration.

To mark this remarkable occasion, the Green Falls Landing team brought everyone together for a special celebration filled with laughter, stories, delicious treats and plenty of love.

We are so grateful to celebrate these incredible couples and the lives they have built together.

Green Falls Landing residents got a tour of Mosaic Stadium where the Saskatchewan Roughriders play. This was the first time our residents got to be on the turf and even got to run out of the tunnel like true players! Green really looks good on them!

Nothing says summer quite like fresh strawberries, great company, and a beautiful afternoon in Millarville with a fancy cup of tea.

Our residents had a wonderful time at the Millarville Strawberry Social, enjoying delicious strawberry treats, tea and taking in the sights. They made plenty of memories together while exploring the gardens, and felt this was a perfect way to spend the afternoon.

A big thank you to Diane our Active Living Manager who helped make the day so fun for everyone. Our amazing residents are already looking forward to our next adventure!

There’s nothing quite like a day on the water to create lasting memories.

Residents from The Williamsburg in Burlington enjoyed a beautiful cruise along 16-Mile Creek thanks to the incredible team at CharterAbility, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing accessible recreational boating experiences at no cost for people of all ages facing physical limitations or other personal circumstances.

With perfect weather and an outstanding volunteer crew, the day was one to remember. A special highlight was watching resident Warren take the helm as captain, making the experience even more meaningful.

We’re proud to partner with organizations that help make enriching, inclusive experiences possible, creating moments of joy and connection for our residents.

Glynnwood retirement residence in Ontario, made a resident’s 100th birthday extra special by working with the family to celebrate her birthday at the Blue Jays game. The Active Living Manager drove Clare and her family to the Jays game where they had a special day prepared for her. Joyful moments are happening at our residences across the country every day!

Centenarians make up just 0.03% of Canada’s population, making them a truly remarkable group. Recently, the team at Scenic Acres in Calgary had the honour of celebrating seven residents who are over 100 years old.

When asked their secret to a long life, they shared simple wisdom: eat well, stay active, work hard, and maintain a positive outlook. Their stories reflected lives filled with resilience, family, and community.

A special toast with ch*****ne and strawberry cake capped off a wonderful celebration of these extraordinary residents and their incredible legacies.
