✨ 2025 Year in Review ✨
As we look back on 2025, our hearts are full with gratitude for a year shaped by creativity, connection, and meaningful milestones.
We began the year bringing participants, staff, and supervisors together through vision boards, winter art projects, Lunar New Year celebrations, Family Day crafts, and wellness activities focused on brain health and nutrition.
Spring and early summer bloomed with watercolour workshops, gardening, Earth Day activities, Seniors Month games, poetry, and community fairs that sparked joy and connection.
Between June and August, we shared a deeply emotional moment as we celebrated the retirement of our beloved former CEO, Ray Applebaum, after 26 years of dedicated service. His retirement celebration was filled with gratitude and memories. During this time, we also welcomed Samina Talat as our new CEO, bringing kindness, passion, and fresh energy to our organization.
Summer and fall were full of excitement, from Canada Day celebrations and summer art sessions to therapy dog visits, park outings, community fairs, and the inspiring Grand Parade “Creative Steps” fundraiser. September marked World Alzheimer’s Month, with important presentations on brain health, safety, and community wellness.
As the year came to a close, we celebrated National Seniors Day, welcomed The Vine Care as a new community partner, honoured Remembrance Day, and wrapped up the holidays with festive crafts, live music, hot cocoa, and heartfelt volunteer shout-outs.
💙 Thank you to our participants, staff, volunteers, partners, and community members who made 2025 so special. We’re excited to keep growing, creating, and connecting in 2026!
