Chef's Corner

Dessert is often our favourite part of the meal around here and it is desserts like this at the heart of it. Our new Individual Boston Cream Pies are decadent little numbers made with homemade vanilla cake, Bavarian cream and fresh whipped cream topped with ganache.

Walker Wash!

Children from North Saanich Middle School raised $225 toward playground equipment recently through a fund-raising initiative at Norgarden Estates. Students washed and sanitized resident's walkers for a small donation. What a great job they did! Thanks kids!

It finally feels like spring and summer is waiting for us at the end of this month! We have a sweet month ahead with visits from Lolly Gobble Sweet Shop in Sidney, Coco's Clothes For You, musical performances, a special Mexican Theme dinner and a couple of great movies for movie night including Best Picture winner The King's Speech!

Perhaps most importantly though, June 5 - 11 is BC Senior's Week, a chance to reflect on and celebrate all of our residents and their contributions to the lives we are privileged to live today. We will be having a special tea with cake and entertainment on Friday, June 10 in honour of BC Senior's Week. For more information on BC Senior's Week, please click here.
