Hello Residents and Family Members,
There is something about the first day of September; the air is crisper as we move toward the fall months and there is a small buzz around the city as kids go back to school and everyone gets back to routine.
SkyPointe had an amazing summer! We celebrated our one-year anniversary, kicked up some dust during stampede, our tuck shop opened and ended our summer with a carnival with our residents and staff. Time sure does fly when you are having fun!
During the month of September, you will see recreation programs transitioning from summer to fall, and regular scheduled programs beginning once again. Residents can sign up for two different in-house lunches ($); Fish and Chips or a Vegetarian Mediterranean lunch. There are several days with entertainment, Philip Marleau, Roli Mack Music and the Kids4Christ Choir.
Resident Family Council meetings will start up again this month. Stay tuned for dates and times.
Please, take a look at our September newsletter (below) and program calendars for upcoming programs and events. If you have any questions or concerns, please, contact (587)619-6317! Or stop by the recreation office. Our general office hours are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday.
Yours sincerely,
Marlee Dukart, Recreation Therapy Manager
