Today at Palisade Gardens, we had a special visit from Cobourg’s Emergency Planner, Heather, who got us all thinking about the importance of emergency preparedness!

Our residents jumped right in and started creating their own emergency supply kit. An important step in staying safe and prepared. It was a fun and informative day for everyone involved!

Thank you Heather!

We’d like to extend a big thank you to Jeremy from Red Mill Maple Syrup for visiting us at Palisade Gardens! 🍁

His engaging presentation on how maple syrup is made was both informative and enjoyable, and our residents loved learning about the process from tree to table. Of course, the delicious samples were a highlight for everyone!

There’s nothing better than the smell of freshly baked cookies! 🍪
Some of our residents in Harmony spent time together baking homemade chocolate chip cookies. The kitchen was filled with laughter, wonderful stories, and of course a few taste tests along the way!
It was a sweet afternoon of baking, sharing memories, and enjoying the delicious results together. Moments like these make Harmony feel just like home.

We’re feeling EXTRA lucky over here! 🍀💚

Our St. Patrick’s Day celebration was full of laughs, friendly games, and lots (and lots!) of green! From festive outfits to enjoying some green beer and classic Guinness, the fun was in full swing.
Safe to say—our residents know how to sham-ROCK a party! 🎉

Here at Palisade Gardens we had a wonderful visit from local Grade 7 and 8 students who have been learning how to play euchre in school. They came to spend time with our residents and show off their new skills at the card table! 🃏

It was a fantastic afternoon filled with laughter, friendly competition, and great conversation. Our residents loved sharing tips, stories, and a few winning hands with the students. Intergenerational moments like these are truly special and remind us how games like euchre can bring people of all ages together.

Thank you to the students and teachers for visiting and brightening everyone’s day at Palisade Gardens!
