Daily Activities and Special Events

It’s hard to believe that we are already into March! I was more than a little relieved to hear that “Wiarton Willie” didn't see his shadow this year. After a winter that felt like it was never going to end, the idea of an early spring is exactly what we need. I know the cold can be a real grind on everyone, and I’m personally looking forward to some warmer air and a bit of sunshine. We have some work lined up for the front and rear parking lots, including resurfacing and adding some new spots. Ken Kitamura will make sure to get the full details up on the website and posted around the Home as we get closer to the construction date, but I wanted to give you a heads-up that help is on the way for those of you who have been hunting for a place to park.

I have also been keeping an eye on the Winter Olympics over in Italy. It is something to see those athletes give everything they have for something they have chased their whole lives. It is impressive, sure, but I don't think you have to go all the way to Milano Cortina to see that kind of heart. I see it right here at Victoria Manor every single day. I am trying to get better at noticing the small things myself, and I have realized we have some real Super Stars on our team who do the heavy lifting without asking for much in return.

I invite you to join us in making 2026 a year defined by kindness and mutual respect, and I am always open to hearing your thoughts as we continue to grow together.
