Try our Colour of the Day idea! Choose one colour — red, green, orange, or purple — and add just one food in that shade to your plate. This is an easy way to boost variety, vitamins, and fun in your routine. 💚❤️🧡💜
What colour are you choosing today?

February is Black History Month, a time to honour the leadership, resilience and lasting contributions of Black communities across Canada. ✊🏾

This month invites us to reflect, listen, recognize the ways Black Canadians have shaped our past and continue to influence our present and future. By celebrating Black history and voices, we strengthen our commitment to equity, respect and meaningful action in our communities.

Let’s take time to learn, reflect and move forward together.

Our Adult Day Program clients had a wonderful experience this week thanks to Quinn from the Meaford Museum who brought a selection of historical artifacts for everyone to explore.
An Eaton’s Christmas catalogue, a wooden skate, an English pictorial puzzle, an old pair of headphones, and even a classic View-Master all sparked memories, conversations, and plenty of storytelling. These moments of connection are so valuable to clients that we support.

Comment below if you know what a View Master is! 👇
