Meet our December VIP, Mitch R.! ✨

Mitch joined Elmwood’s Supportive Independent Living Program (SILP) in 2023 and has experienced remarkable growth, especially in the past year!

When he joined SILP, Mitch wanted to focus on gaining steady employment and living independently. This year he reached both goals, securing work as a security guard at a grocery store, as well as making the move to his own suite in September. 🏡

Way to go Mitch, we are so proud of you!

This month, we’re thrilled to celebrate Mary Jo (MJ) for achieving her personal goal of enjoying more one-on-one outings through Elmwood’s Community Inclusion Program (CIP)! 💖

When MJ worked on her Person-Centred Plan, she shared her goal of having more personalized, intimate outings and the CIP team was excited to make it happen. Since then, MJ has embraced every opportunity, from brunch dates and arts & crafts sessions to trips to the Exhibition, manicures, and peaceful walks by the river. 🥞💅

Over the summer, MJ decided to invite her friend Doris C. to join in on the fun! Together, they’ve enjoyed ice cream treats at Smoove, lunch outings, and shopping sprees. MJ’s enthusiasm and bright smile make every outing a treat and she’s always planning the next adventure with the CIP crew. ✨

We couldn’t be happier to support MJ in reaching her goal and creating these meaningful experiences. Way to go, MJ! 👏

Happy International Volunteer Day! Today we celebrate the incredible volunteers who make Elmwood a place of joy, connection, and community. 💖

Because of them, residents enjoy programs like Dancing with Katie, Drama Club, Singing with Garnet, Literacy Club, Chair Yoga, Wheelchair Bowling, Art Club, Puppy Party, Kinsmen Christmas Shopping Night, and Kinsmen Broadway Movies - activities that bring excitement and plenty of smiles.

In 2025, we welcomed more than 100 active volunteers and over 300 volunteer visits, creating countless memories. ✨

To every volunteer: thank you for making Elmwood shine brighter every day and for empowering inclusion for those we serve with intellectual disabilities.

Today, December 3rd, we join the world in recognizing the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, a day that holds deep meaning for us at Elmwood. 💖

This year’s theme, “Fostering Disability-Inclusive Societies for Advancing Social Progress,” reminds us that real progress happens when everyone is included, respected, and empowered.

Did you know that of the 8 million people with a disability in Canada, 72% report facing barriers every day? Together, we can change this by breaking down barriers and building communities rooted in choice, dignity, and inclusion. ✨

You have the power to make a lasting impact. When you give to Elmwood, you support programs like our Recreational Programming, which helps participants engage with their communities, and our Accessible Transportation Initiative, ensuring those we serve can get to work, appointments, and activities without barriers.

Donate today at www.elmwoodyxe.ca/donate/ and help us create a society where everyone belongs. 🫶
