We did it!!!

Newbrook Lodge is excited to share that our Rodeo Parade float won 1st Place – President’s Choice this Saturday!

What makes this even more special is that this was our first year ever participating in the parade. We had so much fun being part of this community tradition, and we’re incredibly proud of everyone who helped make it happen.

A huge thank you to Charmaine Greer for spearheading the project and bringing her vision for this year’s float theme to life. Thank you to Darren Sjodin for generously letting us use his personal trailer, and to Richard Kam for driving our float in the parade.

Special thanks as well to Viola Bryne and Kim Hillier for putting together all the candy bags that were handed out along the route.

And to all the staff and family members who volunteered to join us, dressed the part, and stayed in character throughout the parade—thank you! Your enthusiasm and teamwork made all the difference.

This award belongs to everyone who helped. It shows what can happen when people work together and support one another. Many hands truly do make light work.

Thank you, Brooks, for a wonderful rodeo weekend. We can’t wait to do it again next year! 🤠❤️

What a wonderful Seniors’ Week!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make this week so special for our residents.

Friday- Special thanks to the Knights of Columbus for the delicious pancake breakfast, Viola for helping make our Rodeo Breakfast possible, Canadian Tire Brooks for providing the portable grill, and Lucien Weinmeyer for the fantastic rodeo entertainment.

Saturday was filled with community spirit as our residents enjoyed the Brooks Parade, a beautiful piano and singing performance by a resident’s granddaughter and her boyfriend, and bingo with the graduating class of St. Joseph’s.

We wrapped up the week on Sunday with karaoke, snacks, and great company thanks to the Brooks Filipino Community in partnership with The Wellings.

The support of our community has a tremendous impact on our seniors. Every visit, performance, volunteer hour, and act of kindness helps create meaningful connections and reminds our residents that they are valued, appreciated, and an important part of our community.

Thank you to everyone who shared their time, talents, and generosity with our residents. 💙

Happy Seniors’ Week!

Today we kick off a week dedicated to celebrating the wisdom, resilience, stories, and contributions of our amazing seniors. Join us all week as we recognize the incredible residents who make Newbrook Lodge such a special place to call home.

To start the celebration, we’re sharing photos from a recent afternoon when our residents enjoyed painting flower pots while socializing with friends and enjoying refreshments from our open bar.

There were plenty of smiles, laughter, and artistic talents on display as everyone added their own personal touch to their pots. It’s a wonderful reminder that creativity, fun, and community can be enjoyed at any age.

Here’s to a week filled with connection, celebration, and making memories together! 😊
