We had a wonderful time celebrating Seniors’ Week with a special visit from Bob Layton's Books and Shane Blakely. They shared funny, memorable stories from over 50 years in broadcasting. Bob also brought his ventriloquist friends—Mississippi Squirrel ‘Nutso’, Senior Special ‘Henri’, and ‘Big Red’—for a fun pre-show. Thank you to Bob and Shane for the laughs and inspiring stories.

Seniors’ Week is one of our favourite times of the year, and we were delighted to celebrate with our annual pancake breakfast! Our seniors truly are the heart of our community, and it’s always a joy to celebrate them during this special week. We loved spending the morning with you! 💜

We thank our board members, leadership team, and staff for serving a wonderful meal and helping make this year’s pancake breakfast so special.

We are excited to share that we have received $4.76 million from the Affordable Housing Partnership Program, a joint initiative by the Governments of Canada and Alberta to build affordable homes across the province.

We thank the Honourable Jason Nixon Minister of Assisted Living and Social Services, and the department. With this support, we will open new doors to safe and affordable homes for individuals and families.

This funding will enable us to construct 56 new affordable homes in the City of Spruce Grove. We eagerly look forward to building a brighter, more inclusive future for our entire region.

On May 9, 150 of our residents and their guests gathered to enjoy creamed pies made by our talented baker and listened to beautiful music performed by Harpist Hannah. We hope all the mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and other special women in our community had a wonderful Mother’s Day. 💜

Thank you to the families, friends, and volunteers who helped make Mother’s Day special for the mothers at Whispering Waters Manor and Forest Ridge Place.
