Green Thumbs ClubCommunity Members have enjoyed caring for the plants around V!VA Mississauga, keeping summer colours and blooms going as long as we can!
Daily maintenance includes dead heading, watering, and training the climbers! We will soon be adding our fall mums to the mix.
This month, we started a weekly program to watch the award-winning series ‘The Crown’. Community Members prepared by crafting fascinating fascinators of all kinds and colours. Afterwards, we gathered for proper English Tea with shortbread, and indulged in conversation about all things royal before starting the first
episode. Many Community Members felt the costumes, actors, music and cinematography transported them back in time for a wonderfully nostalgic experience and many are looking forward to continuing the journey with the young Queen Elizabeth!
The Crown Comes to V!VA Mississauga!
Wine & Paint Night! Although there were some reservations about not being a natural artist, many Community Members came out to give painting a try! With step by step instructions and a little personal creativity (and a wee bit of wine) everyone was able to walk away with a unique piece of art to hang in their suites.
St. Jacobs Market!Taking advantage of the cooler fall weather, we made our way out to the famous St. Jacobs village and market in the beautiful Waterloo Region. Heavily influenced by Mennonite culture, the quaint village offers a variety of antique shops, boutiques, cafes, and farmers markets. After some shopping, we stopped at the Stone Crock restaurant for lunch, and took a peek inside the Canadian Maple souvenir shop and picked up some fresh maple syrup before heading home.
FOUR OF CANADA’S MOST HAUNTED PLACES
OCTOBER IS HERE, AND WITH IT COMES HALLOWEEN! TO GET INTO THE SPOOKY SPIRIT, ENJOY THIS LIST FEATURING
Can you guess which scary film these iconic quotes belong to? Bonus points if you can guess the character who says them, and the actor, too!
FAIRMONT BANFF SPRINGS HOTEL, ALBERTAKnown for its awesome views of the mountains, it’s also a good place to look for ghosts! Some visitors and staff say they’ve seen a ghostly bride walking up and down the hotel’s marble staircases. A couple of the rooms are supposed to have spirits that cause noises and otherwise make it hard for people to get a good sleep. There’s also the ghost of Sam the Bellman, who sometimes mysteriously assists guests with their luggage!
GIBRALTAR POINT LIGHTHOUSE, ONTARIOBuilt of stone in 1908, the lighthouse kept watch from the Toronto Islands over Lake Ontario. People have heard moaning from the inside lighthouse and have seen a light there even though it’s been out of use for decades. More logical people say that the noises are likely birds and the light is the moon reflecting off the glass at the top of the lighthouse.
CRAIGDARROCH CASTLE, BRITISH COLUMBIAOne of Victoria’s top tourist attractions, visitors to the restored castle have reported hearing a piano playing as they walk through the halls – with no sign of a piano or its player anywhere in sight! A ghostly woman in white, supposedly the wife of the first owner, has been spotted several times looking out the castle’s windows.
FORT GARRY HOTEL, MANITOBAOver the years, many guests have reported ghostly figures in the halls, rattling silverware, and spooky noises. This hasn’t hurt the hotel’s business at all — some people actually request to stay in the rooms that are supposed to be the most haunted!
