Taking care of our mental health also means making room for life's little joys 💚

To mark World Mental Health Day, Cogir residences organized a special day filled with thoughtful gestures to brighten residents' days: photo booths, encouraging messages, special treats prepared by the chefs, and much more. Each residence brought its own creativity to the celebration! ✨

A lovely reminder that well-being is also nurtured through simple gestures, meaningful connections, and moments that make us feel good.

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

Six decades together is a beautiful testament to love, partnership, friendship and all the memories made along the way. 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.

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.

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.
