During the festivities the Township of Asphodel-Norwood’s Business Advisory Committee took the opportunity to welcome two new businesses to the village hosting official ribbon cutting grand openings at both new enterprises.

The first is Community Eye Care, the latest health-care related service provider to operate out of the village’s medical building.

Drop in and meet owner Vanessa Brown, a passionate local entrepreneur dedicated to bringing accessible, top-tier vision care to her hometown. Driven by a deep commitment to her community’s health and wellness, Vanessa combines clinical expertise with a personalized, neighbourly approach to ensure every resident receives the highest standard of eye care.

Vanessa’s practice is built on the simple belief that everyone deserves exceptional eye care without having to travel to a big city. By combining diagnostic technology with the warmth and trust of a local business, she ensures her patients feel like family the moment they walk through the door.

Community Eye Care provides everything from routine comprehensive eye exams and pediatric vision screenings to specialized dry eye treatments and advanced contact lens fittings by taking the time to understand each patient’s unique lifestyle and visual needs.

Vanessa is invested in her hometown, her clinic is more than just a business for her — it is a vital community hub sponsoring local youth sports teams, participating in community health fairs, and offering accessible vision care initiatives for seniors and local schools. Community Eye Care helps to not only provide residents and neighbours with the tools to see clearly but also empowers the local economy proving that hometown roots and world-class health care make the perfect pair.

These cookies were absolutely delicious! Thank you Baking Me Crazy for the dedicated time, love and support you put into these to make our day that much more enjoyable ❣️

👁️ Seeing a local business celebrate a new beginning is always special! 👓✨

We had so much fun creating these custom sugar cookies for the Grand Opening of Community Eye Care in Norwood. From stylish eyeglasses and eye charts to detailed iris designs, every cookie was handcrafted to help make the celebration a little sweeter.

Congratulations to the team at Community Eye Care on this exciting milestone! Wishing you continued success as you serve the Norwood community. 💚
