This year, The Kensington and other Vancouver Island Optima Living Retirement Residences properties were thrilled to be part of an outstanding fundraising initiative. We took advantage of the chance to display our residents' pictures on a stunning tree at the Bay Centre, where they could be enjoyed by all of Victoria while shopping. Optima Living Retirement Residences





The "Festival of Trees" at The Bay Centre is an annual holiday fundraising event that turns the shopping centre into a large display of decorated trees to support the BC Children's Hospital Foundation. Visitors can enjoy the festive display, vote for their favorite tree, and make a donation, with all funds raised going to support the hospital's urgent needs for children in British Columbia. The event features trees sponsored and decorated by local businesses, and is a popular community tradition to kick off the holiday season.

Today, The Kensington Victoria Retirement Residence took a moment to reflect on the bravery, sacrifice, and service of those who fought for our freedom, their courage continuing to inspire us. Lest we forget

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
