As April arrives, we’re greeted by blooming spring, longer days, and a refreshing sense of renewal. This edition of The Advisor offers plenty of opportunities to learn, connect, and grow together.
In Greenfield Park, Senior Wellness offers a full calendar of weekly activities—from informative talks and creative workshops to virtual travel experiences. We are also excited to introduce two new activities: Men’s Café, a space for connection and conversation, and Craft, Create, Connect, a relaxed and creative art session open to all skill levels. Returning favourites include Ancestor Hunters Genealogy Club, Cooking Demonstration, Mindful Together, French Conversation, Rock Painting, Walk & Talk, and more. Caregivers Café continues each Wednesday with supportive sessions, including guest speakers and practical resources for caregivers. See pages 2–4 for full details.
In Haut-Richelieu-Rouville, programming continues for all ages, including Family Wellness Saturday, Book Club, and Parlez-Vous? Let’s Chat! in St-Jean, as well as Senior Wellness in both Chambly and Clarenceville. There are plenty of ways to stay active, meet others, and take part in your community. Full details can be found on pages 5–7.
