Daily Activities and Special Events

With the arrival of November, we pause to honour Remembrance Day and reflect on the sacrifices, commitments and resilience that defines our Country. On a personal note, I am reminded of my grandfather’s service during World War II, a legacy of duty and quiet faith that inspires how I view service to others every day. At Victoria Manor, we hold deep respect for our veterans and for the diverse life stories of every resident and family member. Whether you spend this time in quiet reflection, personal prayer, or shared conversation, please know that your story matters here, and that you are supported with warmth, empathy, and grace.

With the cooler weather setting in, our operations team is fully focused on winter readiness across our home. Team members are completing seasonal maintenance, reviewing emergency preparedness plans, and stocking up on the items and equipment to be prepared for what winter may bring. To help residents stay comfortable and healthy through the seasonal shift, our clinical staff will be offering seasonal vaccinations and monitoring indoor temperature & humidity levels. We encourage families to help update resident wardrobes with warm & cozy, layered clothing for winter. As always, my door is open if you have any questions or feedback as we move into the season ahead.
