Life Enriching Activities

Family Members are Always Welcome!

Canterbury Gardens offers an array of stimulating programs to meet your social, cultural, and recreational needs. As with all our services, our full-time Activity Director will tailor a plan according to your needs and desires. Enjoy as many opportunities to become involved as you wish or as much privacy as you want. You choose how you want to live.

We organize activities to complement your current interests and help you discover new ones. Our philosophy of caring for the “whole” individual means that we encourage participation and social interaction. Our exercise and activities programs are designed to increase mobility and independence. And we offer a full range of group and individual programs designed to enhance your intellectual, spiritual and social involvement.

We believe in enriching and energizing the lives of our residents. Our residents never run out of activities and opportunities for enjoyment and stimulation. We have regular excursions on our air-conditioned shuttle to exciting destinations, including regular shopping trips. For intellectual stimulation, we host workshops and seminars by guest speakers on a variety of topics. Concerts, movie nights, and live entertainment are all common events at Canterbury Gardens. For spiritual enrichment, our non-denominational chapel hosts regular services, conducted by local clergy. Or, if you prefer, we offer regular transportation to local churches.

We encourage family participation in all our events. Whether for a special Mother’s Day tea with entertainment a game of cards, or a beverage in our pub, families are always invited to be a part of our community. Grandchildren are especially welcome. We specifically plan for events to bring families together. A monthly newsletter and calendar of events keep residents and their families up to date on all events and activities.

Something for Everyone

Our Activity Director plans an active, busy calendar, full of variety with something of interest to everyone. Frequent Special Events add variety and a special flavour and energy to our community. Special meals and buffets, local theatre presentations, birthday parties, antique car shows are just a few examples.

Our regular recreational activities include such things such as diners club, social bar,  bus trips, hobbies & crafts, card games, aquatic programs, free swims, and shopping. In the summer we move outdoors to enjoy picnics and barbecues on the patio and trips to the beach. Whatever hobbies or interests you’ve been postponing, you can start them now.

At Canterbury Gardens you will meet lots of new friends and add many new experiences to your life. Or, if you prefer, you may choose to simply enjoy your own individual interests in one of our lovely lounge areas or in the privacy of your suite. It’s your choice.
