Rec Days! In October, our residents welcomed Canadore College Recreation students for a fun morning of programming and visits. The students then invited us to their campus, where we explored the incredible dome and enjoyed interactive activities led by the students themselves.

To the Recreation Department at Canadore -Thank you so much! We’re thrilled about this partnership and can’t wait for the next experience!
