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

Green Falls Landing in Regina had the incredible honour of celebrating nine couples who have each reached an extraordinary milestone: 60 years of marriage!

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.

Residents at Green Falls Landing retirement community gathered to reminisce on how their lifelong marriages all started.

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!

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.

A milestone moment at Westney Gardens Retirement Residence!

On June 16, we proudly celebrated the official opening of our new Assisted Living floor with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony with Carol, the very first resident to move into the new space.

Designed with comfort, care, and community in mind, the new floor features 31 thoughtfully appointed suites, including both studio and one-bedroom layouts. Residents will benefit from convenient access to a modern nursing station and physician’s office. The floor also offers inviting spaces for residents to connect and engage, including a dedicated activity area, TV and reading lounges, and a bright, welcoming dining room.

This exciting expansion reflects our ongoing commitment to providing exceptional care and creating vibrant communities where residents can age in place. Congratulations to the entire Westney Gardens team on this wonderful achievement!

This Father’s Day, we honour and thank all the remarkable men in our lives.

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.

(Five of our seven centenarians are pictured)
