Today, on National Indigenous Peoples Day, we recognize and celebrate the rich cultures, traditions, histories, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples across Canada.

As Elmwood is situated on Treaty 6 Territory and the Homeland of the Métis, we are grateful for opportunities to learn from and honour the Indigenous communities whose presence, knowledge, and stewardship continue to shape this land.

This coming Wednesday, we are honoured to welcome the Cree Canaries, Traditional Dancers, and Hoop Dancers, as residents and team members will gather to mark the occasion through cultural performances, shared stories, and meaningful moments of connection.

National Indigenous Peoples Day is a time for celebration, reflection, and learning. We remain committed to fostering understanding, building respectful relationships, and advancing the work of truth and reconciliation in our community.
We are thankful for the opportunity to come together in recognition and appreciation.

Meet our VIP for the month of June, Ashley W.! 💖

Ashley has been a valued member of our Elmwood family since 2010, making this June his 16th year with us!

While Ashley may come across as quiet at first, those who know him well see his curious and thoughtful side shine through. He loves asking questions and staying connected to what’s happening around the house. One of his favorite things is spending time with his roommates and staff, especially when it involves getting out and enjoying the community together. ✨

Since retiring from Cosmo in December 2024, Ashley has been actively involved in Elmwood’s Community Inclusion Program (CIP). He especially enjoys one-on-one outings and never says no to a drive with the CIP team - particularly if it includes singing along to music and a stop at McDonald’s for a Diet Coke and fries!

Ashley’s gentle nature and kind heart make him one of a kind and we are so grateful to have him in our community! 🫶

Last week, residents, participants, and Elmwood team members came together in the Friendship Garden at Kinsmen Manor for our annual John Helm Memorial Barbecue. Though it wasn’t the sunniest afternoon, it was time well spent as we honoured a beloved member of the Elmwood family. 💖

This special gathering is made possible by the John Helm Happiness Fund, established by John’s family following his passing in 2023. Known for his uplifting spirit and contagious positivity, John made a lasting impact on everyone he met. His family created this fund to carry that legacy forward.

Today, the John Helm Happiness Fund helps remove financial barriers so residents can experience meaningful moments, from sports games and concerts to community events, spreading the same joy John shared so generously. ✨

The Elmwood Fall Feast, presented by Affinity Credit Union is taking place on October 15th this year and we are beyond thrilled to introduce our keynote speaker, Shailynn Taylor! ✨🍂

“Shailynn Taylor is a disability advocate and motivational speaker who was born and raised in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.

After earning a Criminal Justice degree at Mount Royal University and contributing five years as a board member for Love for Lewiston in Calgary, Shailynn is now back living in Saskatchewan and travelling around North America to share her story.

Living with the rare disease of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) has shaped her perspective to value connection and authenticity above all.

From Coachella crowds to community events, Shailynn’s message and tool box for life help those with disabilities and able bodies alike to keep moving forward.”

Tickets are on sale now so make sure to grab yours today through the link below so you don't miss Shailynn taking the stage! ⬇

Furniture shopping for the final two Manor Transition homes is officially underway! 🛋

Last Friday, Kevin, Doris C., Kara, and Diana, alongside members of the Elmwood team, hopped in the vans and headed to Furniture World Saskatoon to start choosing pieces for their new homes.

Each resident plays an important role in shaping their space, from selecting their own dresser and nightstand to working together to choose the perfect leather colour for the living room furniture. Every detail, right down to the wood stain and drawer pulls, is thoughtfully chosen to reflect their preferences and support their individual needs. 💖

A huge thank you to Furniture World for their continued support! They consistently go above and beyond to create a welcoming shopping experience and ensure each piece fits both style and function for the residents.

Our second group heads out shopping next week, we can’t wait to see what they choose! ✨

For this month’s Goal Spotlight, we’re celebrating Tanya, who achieved her exciting goal of going on a staycation back in March! ✨

Tanya enjoyed a relaxing getaway at the Travelodge alongside Christina from our Recreation team. Their stay was extra special in the “Under the Sea” themed room!

Of course, no staycation is complete without a full calendar. Tanya treated herself to a shopping spree at Lawson Heights Mall and delicious meals out for breakfast and supper. 🛍🍴

To top it all off, the ladies enjoyed a refreshing swim in the hotel pool.

Amazing work on reaching your goal, Tanya! 💖
