Raising funds to support quality of life initiatives for patients and residents at Riverview Health Centre.

This isn’t just a bike ride.

It’s a resident hearing their favourite song during music therapy.
It’s a patient regaining independence with specialized equipment.
It’s a family seeing comfort and dignity in moments that matter most.

Every dollar raised through Cycle on Life goes straight to work at Riverview.

Real impact, right here at home.

When you ride, you’re not just logging kilometres.
You’re creating connection. Confidence. Joy.

Registration is now open. Join us for a ride that truly matters.

Laughter and friendly competition filled the room at Riverview. 🎲

Students from Churchill High School joined residents for an afternoon of homemade board games. There was dice rolling, cards shuffling, and plenty of fun rivalry.

These monthly visits bring together students — many of whom are newcomers — with RHC residents for connection that truly benefits everyone. Students practice their English over shared smiles. Residents enjoy lively conversation and new friendships. Together, they create moments that matter.

This time, the students designed their own games from scratch and guided residents through the rules. A few residents even beat the teens at their own creations! (Jenga made a guest appearance too.)

Thanks to your generous support, afternoons like this continue to bring connection, confidence, and joy to life at Riverview.

There was speed skating (without ice), a few spirited rounds of curling, bingo, and plenty of cheering from the sidelines. Our very own Rendezvous Olympics brought out determination — and of course, a well-earned medal ceremony. 🥇

It’s just one example of how the Rendezvous Club, Riverview’s adult day program, keeps days active, engaging, and full of life.

On any given morning, the coffee is poured, cards are shuffled, and stories are shared. Friendships are formed over meals, gentle recreation, and familiar routines.

Through the generosity of our donors, Riverview Health Centre Foundation is proud to support the Rendezvous Club by helping provide the supplies, program materials, and other resources that make these meaningful moments possible. And with the club expanding its hours this month to meet growing demand, that support means even more, creating additional opportunities for participants to enjoy days filled with activity, companionship, and belonging.

From Rendezvous Olympics to simple coffee chats, it’s all about connection, purpose, and community.

The sound of steel drums filled the auditorium as Hi-Life Steel Orchestra brought energy and celebration to Riverview for Black History Month. 🥁

Their Afro-Caribbean rhythms had toes tapping and smiles spreading, creating a vibrant afternoon of music, culture, and connection.

Moments like these reflect the importance of celebrating diversity and creating spaces where multicultural stories and traditions are shared and appreciated.

This performance was part of a series of events put on by our wonderful EDIB Committee & Working Group throughout February honoring Black History Month at Riverview through food, music, and community.

Her voice filled the room. Smooth R&B, powerful Gospel, and reggae rhythms 🎶

Rhonda Thompson, aka Fenom, brought heart and soul to Riverview as part of our Black History Month celebrations. Some residents closed their eyes and simply listened. Others sang along. A few couldn’t resist moving to the beat.

Moments like this remind us how powerful it is to celebrate diversity, not just by learning about it, but by experiencing it together. Thank you to our EDIB Committee & Working Group for organizing this event!

Spring can't come soon enough at Riverview's Alzheimer's Centre of Excellence. Thanks to generous donors, two new landscape carts are ready for use in the courtyard gardens.

For residents like Fatima, that means getting her hands in the cool soil, smelling blooming flowers, and listening to birds chirping overhead while she works.

"Gardening offers comfort, peacefulness, and purposefulness to our residents with dementia," says Angela, a Riverview recreation facilitator. "It allows for reminiscing and socialization that leads to meaningful conversations, plus gentle exercise."

This project came to life through generous donations of time and materials from community members. After seeing the care their own loved ones received at Riverview, they wanted to give back. Thank you to all who contributed!

Anna celebrated Valentine's Day with Abe for 73 years.
This is the first one without him.

She knew he was the one from the very beginning. When she saw Abe for the first time in 1951, she heard a voice say "that's your man."

That voice was right, and after six kids and seven decades of marriage, their love was still strong.

At their former retirement community, everyone called them "the lovebirds," always holding hands and telling each other "I love you" every day.

When Abe's care needs brought him to Riverview, Anna followed. She fondly recalls a big family Christmas party hosted in the auditorium when they first moved in. They spent two happy years together at Riverview before he passed in November.

"I still miss him every day," says Anna, 92. "When I get news from friends or family, my first thought is always, 'I need to tell Abe.' But then I remember I can't."

Through it all, the Riverview community has been there for her.

"People I didn't even know came up to me to offer their condolences," Anna says. "I got fantastic support. On Abe's old floor, they still tell me they miss me and invite me to visit."

This Valentine’s Day will be different. But Anna is having dinner with a friend. She’s also filling her days by giving love and support back, helping feed other residents, folding towels, and pitching in however she can.

Nothing can replace the love of her life, but her life is still full of love. The kind that shows up in folded towels, being there for other residents, or going to Jets games with her daughter, like her first one ever last month. It's the kind of love Riverview works to build every day.

"I'm happy for the work I get to do, that I get to be independent," Anna says. "I'm free to help other people and be part of the love and care they get at Riverview."

Before Valentine’s Day arrives, we want to share a little love of our own.

Month after month, our monthly donors quietly make life better for patients and residents at Riverview Health Centre.

Your steady kindness brings comfort, strengthens programs, and reminds people they are not alone.

Today, we simply say thank you for being part of this caring community. 💖
