Christmas Carolers Visit!

We were lucky to have visits from both the Sidney Elementary and Parklands High School Carolers. Residents sang along to the festive tunes, and there was even some dancing as you can see below! Thank you to all the students for spreading some Christmas joy with us.

Tree Trimming Parties

It does not feel like Christmas until the tree is decorated! Residents enjoyed wonderful piano entertainment by Ron Berod, while they decorated the Christmas trees, drank hot apple cider, and munched on shortbread.

Great community spirit!

Holiday Activities at a Glance!

We are only a week into December and the residents have already enjoyed Tree Trimming Parties, QiGong Exercies, Sidney Saranadors Choir, Jewllery Sales, and much more. Rogers Chocolates will be visiting to help out with the annual rush of Christmas gift shopping this month, and the residents are also making their way to Butchart Gardens to see the amazing Twelve Days of Christmas light display. There is no lack of Christmas caroling at Norgarden Estates this holiday season, including Christmas Carols by Ruth Horie Voice Students, Jason Stevens performing "A Christmas Carol", and Sidney School Caroling. The residents will be having breakfast with Santa on the 18th, and of course Christmas Day would not be the same without a classic turkey dinner. This is just a few of the activities happening this festive month, check out our calendars below for the whole picture!! Happy Holidays to everyone!

The residents and staff did not mess around when it came to Halloween costumes this year. We had everything from a Pirate, a Witch, and even the Cookie Monster join us on October 31st during our Halloween party!
