What role can movement play in healthy aging? A new article in The Globe and Mail explores this question through the experiences of Chartwell residents Theresa Wilton and Carmen Burke, alongside insights from scientist and human physiologist Dr. Greg Wells.

As part of our ongoing partnership with Dr. Wells, we're pleased to share practical ideas for making movement part of everyday life. As the article highlights, it's never too late to start, and even a small increase in daily activity can make a difference. Read the article: https://ow.ly/fmrN50ZZJac

What a match. What a memory. 🎾 ✨

For years, Émile followed the sport he loves from home. This summer, the 98-year-old from Lévis, Quebec, got to experience the excitement in person, travelling with his daughter to attend the US Open Men's Final in New York.

With surprise courtside seats and a front-row view of an unforgettable match, the trip exceeded every expectation.

Sunshine, butterflies, and breathtaking ocean views made for an unforgettable day!

Our residents spent the morning at Butterfly World, surrounded by beautiful butterflies, lush greenery, and nature's wonders. The highlight was seeing butterflies gently land nearby, giving everyone an up-close experience with these amazing creatures.
We then enjoyed a picnic lunch at Qualicum Beach, where residents relaxed, shared stories, and took in the stunning waterfront scenery.

Days like these remind us of the joy that comes from getting out, exploring, and spending time together.
