June 3-9, 2024 is Seniors’ Week!

Recognized annually across Alberta, this week is an opportunity to recognize and show appreciation for older adults and the contributions they make to our communities. At The Brenda Strafford Foundation, we’re thrilled to celebrate the seniors in our lives, and to share the joy, love, and wisdom they bring to our community. In honour of Seniors’ Week, we asked our residents and families to share a photo of their favourite memory to bring joy to our community and highlight the unique and inspiring journeys of those who call BSF home.

Meet Bow View Manor resident, Kaare, whose favourite memory takes us back to 1969 when he moved from Denmark to Canada with his mom, dad, and four younger siblings. They sailed across the ocean on a ship named the Stefan Batory. In the photo, he waves goodbye to Denmark alongside his mom and two of his brothers.

Thank you, Kaare, for sharing such a special memory that reminds us of the important moments and experiences that shape our lives! Visit our website to read more stories from BSF: BSF News
