Honoring Remembrance Day began last week as we gathered together to make poppy wreaths with our residents.
This morning, we held a quiet in-house service, sharing memories, stories, and gratitude for those who have fought and died for our country.
This afternoon, we took a gentle drive to the cenotaph, giving everyone a moment to reflect and share respects.

“At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.”

105ft long outdoor mural at Villa St. Joseph-Du-Lac in Yarmouth, NS. This mural was commissioned to give the residents a serene, peaceful scene to look at instead of a brick wall! I’m grateful to have been asked to do it, and happy to provide them with a bit of brightness and joy!

A huge Thank You to everyone who came out to our Haunted House Fundraiser!
Your screams, laughter, and spooky spirit made it an unforgettable event!

We’re so grateful for the incredible volunteers and staff who helped bring the chills and thrills to life. From setup to scare crew, to cleanup, you made the magic (and the mayhem) happen.

Because of your support, we not only shared some scares but also raised funds that go right back into our community. ❤️

Until next year… keep the lights on, and watch where you step. 👀

Happy Hauntings!

This season, we’re feeling especially grateful for our incredible staff and wonderful residents who fill our halls with laughter, kindness, and care every single day.

October is Continuing Care Month, and we’re so thankful for the dedicated team who go above and beyond to make the Villa feel like home. Their caring compassion shine through in everything they do.
Just like our recent pumpkin painting activity that brought many smiles! Our residents are getting into the spirit of the season.
