Fall fun at Snyder's Family Farm!

Our residents braved the cool autumn weather (and a bit of rain) and had lots of fun on a hayride, exploring the farm and scouting out the best pumpkin!

Parkwood had a fantastic Fall Fair! Games, a petting zoo and a tasty barbeque to wrap the day up. A big thank you to the Good Farm, for their donation of pumpkins, corn stalks and bails of straw. It really added to this annual event.

In September the Rider's for the CMC Ride for Dementia stopped in to visit the residents at Parkwood. We hope to see you all again next year!

This year, we welcomed over 80 participants to our annual Walk the Kindness Way event, it was the largest group yet! Walkers journeyed along the Walter Bean/Grand River trails, some covering 10 km, others the full day, and a few even braving the entire 42 km trek. Two residents from Fairview joined in, walking alongside participants and reminding us what this event is truly all about: people, community, and kindness in action.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we raised an outstanding $44,470.50 in support of our Healing Garden projects. These funds will help bring a brand-new Healing Garden to Parkwood and complete the furnishings at Fairview’s garden, which opened earlier this year. These spaces will be sanctuaries of peace and connection for residents, families, and friends.

Every step, every cheer, and every donation has become part of this story. Together, we are rooting kindness and building places of healing that will serve our communities for years to come.

Thank you to everyone who walked, donated, volunteered, and supported this year’s event, we couldn’t have done it without you! We can’t wait to share the progress of the Healing Gardens and see you back on the trails in 2026.

Imagine a beautifully landscaped space where a resident can sip coffee under the morning sun…

Where children visit grandparents and laugh together in the fresh air…

Where friends can pause, connect, and celebrate life’s moments.

That’s the dream for our Healing Gardens at Fairview and Parkwood.

Join us on our annual walk the kindness way 2025! Our 2025 theme, "Rooted in Kindness," speaks to the deepening impact of this event and the community it supports.

At Fairview, money raised will help us furnish and refresh our newly completed garden, adding comfortable seating, shade, and beautiful touches.

At Parkwood, money raised will help us create a brand-new garden, transforming a space into a vibrant, welcoming area for residents, families, and team members to enjoy.

Walk Details:
Friday Sept. 12 (start time 10am)
Saturday Sept. 13, 2025 (start time 9am)

📍 Walter Bean – Grand River Trail

Choose your distance: 10 km, 19 km, 23 km, or the full 42 km over 2 days.

Over the past two days, residents worked extra hard husking some fresh Herrle's corn for their lunches! Great work everyone!

Thank you to our amazing volunteers, Connie and Brian, for all of the hard work you do keeping our Bauman Homestead garden looking so wonderful.
