What an incredible week!

As we wrap up Wellness Week at Horizon Achievement Centre, we'd like to thank everyone who helped make it such a success. Today, we started the morning with a relaxing and mindful meditation session led by Heidi Davis Wellness, giving us an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and recharge. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61582147824099

This afternoon, we welcomed Joe from Cold Blooded Adventures for an exciting and educational animal experience. From curious reptiles to fascinating creatures, there were plenty of smiles, questions, and memorable moments.
https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090318279312

Throughout the week, participants and staff enjoyed walks, yoga, gardening, healthy eating education, games, laughter, music, and new experiences focused on wellness in all its forms.

Thank you to everyone who shared their time, talents, and enthusiasm with us. Wellness is about more than physical health—it's about connection, learning, having fun, and supporting one another. We are grateful for a week filled with all of those things.

🎶 The Horizon Choir took the stage today as part of Wellness Week and delivered an outstanding performance for staff, participants, families, and friends.

A special thank you to Choir Director Jennifer MacDonald for sharing her talent and helping the singers prepare for today’s showcase.

We’re sharing a clip of Out on the Mira, one of several songs performed by the choir. We couldn’t be prouder of the confidence, dedication, and talent on display today.

Bravo to all of the singers! 👏🎵

📚 Everyone enjoys visiting the cbrlibrary

Many of the people we support enjoy browsing the shelves, finding new books and movies, using community resources, and taking part in programs and activities. For some, getting their own library card is an important step toward greater independence and community participation.

Libraries are about so much more than books. They provide opportunities to learn, explore interests, access information, and stay connected with what’s happening in the community.

We’re grateful to have a resource like the library in our community and encourage everyone to stop by, sign up for a library card, and see all that it has to offer. 📖❤️

🌟 We’re halfway through Wellness Week at Horizon Achievement Centre and what a fantastic week it has been so far! 🌟

Our participants and staff have been busy focusing on health, wellness, and having fun together.

✅ Monday – We kicked things off with plenty of laughs during a stand-up comedy session with Jason, followed by a walk through Open Hearth Park.

✅ Tuesday – We enjoyed indoor games and a relaxing yoga session led by Joyce Lively.

✅ Today – We learned about healthy eating during an informative presentation from our dietetic intern, Leah, and spent time outdoors walking and working in the garden with Doug and Tracey.

A big thank you to everyone who has helped make Wellness Week such a success. We’re looking forward to even more activities and healthy fun during the rest of the week! 💙🌱🚶‍♀️🥕
