Meet The Critters

What better way to put a smile on your face then to cuddle a cute little furry animal? The residents enjoyed an afternoon visit with a handful of little critters, including tiny puppies, miniture rabbits, gerbels, and a big friendly guinea pig named "Cody".

Thank you to our Housekeeping Manager, Patty, for bringing such enjoyment to the residents!

Aloha!

Our residents had a blast during our Hawaiian Theme Dinner evening. Then night started off with some delicious tropical punch, and ended with The Pacific Polynesian Danacers performaing authentic dances of the South Pacific on our back patio.

Another successful party here at Norgarden Estates!

August is Classical Music Month at Norgarden Estates!

Throughout the month of September the residents will be enjoying various events and activities as usual, many of which are following the theme of Classical Music. Some of these events will include a big screen viewing of "The Three Tenors", and a musical interlude with Ron Berod, who will be playing some lovely classical tunes on the piano. To finish the month off, the residents are cordally invited to a Black and White Themed Dinner, where they are encouraged to dress in their best "black and whites", while enjoying some complimentary drinks, appetizers, dinner, and classical music trivia. Gentleman, it is time to dust off your old top hats and bow ties!

This month the residents are also travelling up island to the Chemanus Theatre to enjoy the famous prodcution of "Fiddler on the Roof", where I am sure there will be some singing on the bus ride home. In addition, there is an educational seminar on Orchids, and we are also going to test out our carpet bowling skills....start your stretches!

Church & State Winery Raptors Show

A group of our residents had an adventurous outing to Church & State Winery to view the popular Raptors Show. These truly impressive birds, including owls, hawks, eagles, falcons, and vultures, demonstarted their natural flying and hunting abilities. The residents were thrilled and amazed as these birds of prey swooped close over their heads!

Who Needs The Calgary Stampede....

Okay, listen up partners. Why travel all the way to Alberta for the world famous Calgary Stampede when you can get your good ol’ boot stomping times here at Norgarden Estates!!! Residents both at The Peninsula and Norgarden had a blast at our Country and Western Themed dinners. The night included frosty beers, a classic Western style B.B.Q , and of course some great live country music to dance the evening away.

Now it would not be a proper Country and Western night without suitable attire; but this was not an issue here at Norgarden Estates, no sir. As you can see below, many of the residents disguised themselves as cowboys and cowgirls for the evening!

August at a Glance!

Check out all the great activities that are happening around Norgarden and The Peninsula in the month of August! We are only a few days into the month and we have already had our popular exercise class, chimes class, skits for seniors, and a visit from a handful of cute little furry creatures.

The sunny month ahead is filled with nothing but adventure and good times. Just to name a few upcoming events, the residents are getting ready for a trip to Church & State Winery to view some amazing birds of prey, a lovely stroll and shop through the Deep Cove Market, and some authentic Pacific Polynesian entertainment at our Hawaiian themed dinner.
