Our 115 guests enjoyed music by our “house bands” The Hampton Singers and the Saanich Songmen. Followed by the Greater Victoria Police Chorus who were in top form again this year. Refreshments followed and all agreed it was a lovely event.

Even the rain yesterday couldn’t dampen the spirits of the out trippers who visited the Power to Be site at Prospect Lake. A nature walk that accommodated all levels of mobility followed by a camp fire and snack made for a lovely afternoon. Trips are being planned monthly from both our centres, and other outreach locations as part of our Senior Community Outreach Project in partnership with James Bay New Horizons.
Happy Thanksgiving!
May you take sometime this long weekend to be grateful for your blessings and we hope they are many!
Our centres will be closed on Monday, October 14th and will reopen on Tuesday, October 15th.
Thank to the hard working staff of Care & Co Ltd – Senior Care Victoria for sponsoring and helping at the Thanksgiving Dinner this week. Our 85 guests enjoyed a delicious turkey dinner with all the trimmings prepared by Chef Anthony of Ambrosia. Entertainment was provided by Can Suite. A good time was had by all!
Sorry I missed it! Looks like everyone enjoyed themselves!
Lights! Camera! Action!
Filming today at the Saanich Centre. A film crew for CBC TV's The Nature of Things are filming a documentary on Aging Well. Now the world will know what we already know - our members are STARS!
