At St. Bernard's Residence, we are committed to helping our residents stay active, healthy, and independent. Through our Falls Prevention & Exercise Program, offered twice weekly in partnership with Circle of Care, residents enjoy engaging group classes designed specifically for seniors.
These sessions help improve mobility, enhance balance, build strength, and reduce pain — all while encouraging confidence and independence in daily living. Beyond the physical benefits, the program also provides a wonderful opportunity for residents to socialize, stay connected, and build meaningful friendships in a warm and supportive environment.
We are truly blessed to offer programs that nurture both the body and spirit, helping our residents live each day with joy, wellness, and community.

At St. Bernard’s, we’re proud to support our local Tim Hortons and their annual Smile Cookie campaign 😊
Since 1996, this initiative has raised over $150 million for charities and community groups across Canada and the U.S.—including more than $22.6 million last year alone. Even better, our local location is supporting The Children's Breakfast Club, helping ensure kids in our community start their day with a healthy meal.
A small treat that makes a big difference—our residents are happy to take part! 🍪

We’re pleased to share news from the wider Vaughan community about the opening of a new Seniors Hub at 31 Woodbridge Ave.
This welcoming space, developed through a partnership between Seniors Focus Inc. and the City of Vaughan, officially opened on April 27 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Mayor Steven Del Duca and several members of Council. The new hub offers older adults a place to connect, take part in programs, and stay active close to home.
As our senior population continues to grow, initiatives like this reflect a strong commitment to ensuring older adults feel engaged, supported, and included in community life.
At St. Bernard’s, we celebrate efforts like these that recognize the value, wisdom, and vitality of our older adult community.
