Church Services

There are three different denominations that offer worship services. We proudly offer services from the Anglican Church, United Church and Lighthouse Baptist Church. All Sunday services begin at 2:00 p.m. unless otherwise notified (Activity Room).

Movie Night

A movie is shown on Sunday nights at 6p.m. in the activity room. If you have a favourite, don’t hesitate to share with us! (Activity Room)

Exercises

The goal of our exercise program is to keep you physically fit and able to continue in your activities of daily living. When you can maintain your balance and have the muscle strength to move your body well, the restrictions that you place on yourself will be less.

Monday and Friday exercises offer a variety of stretching and balance building exercises. Most of them are done in a sitting position using the upper and lower body. Flexible bands are used for strengthening the arms. The latter part of these exercises are done in a standing position behind a chair, some residents choose to sit for all of the exercises.

The Wednesday morning fitness program incudes a walking program in the warmer months of the year. In the cooler months we offer an additional exercise class.

Entertainment

Local musicians often come to entertain and this can occur in the afternoon hours or in the early evening. We attempt to offer a variety of musical entertainment monthly. If you enjoy tapping your feet to the beat, be sure to come on out! If you have a favourite local musician or group don’t hesistate to let the activity staff know! (Activity Room)
