October Activities

Here's an overview of our busy October. Look for some great live entertainment, the always fun Oktoberfest and of course, watch out for all the witches and scarecrows come Halloween!

P.A.T.S.

For the past few months, Norgarden Estates has arranged for P.A.T.S. volunteers and their pets to come visit our residents. The visits bring joy and laughter as well as reminiscence and have been a great benefit to many.

For more information on the program see the P.A.T.S. website.

Warm Hearts and Busy Hands

There is a very special group of talented ladies here at Norgarden Estates. They work together as the Norgarden Knitting Group making textiles for needy children in third world countries through Canada Comforts. This group doesn't just knit, they quilt, sew and crochet beautiful and functional blankets, hats and clothing for underprivileged children.
