JAMAICA | Silvera communities celebrated the vibrant flavours and spirit of Jamaica through the Explore program in April.

Thanks to the input and support from community evening attendant Sozana Richards, who is from Jamaica, residents at Bow Valley Commons enjoyed an authentic Jamaican food tasting, including jerk chicken, rice and peas, Jamaican beef patties, spiced buns, and a special cocktail drink. Sozana also shared many interesting facts about Jamaica showing her National Symbols plaque.

At Westview Town Suites, residents enjoyed a special Jamaican lunch buffet followed by a lively piano performance by Johnson Phillip.

Shouldice Commons also celebrated Jamaican history and culture when residents and staff came together to enjoy music, a food tasting, and traditional Jamaican dances.

The events were a wonderful way to celebrate great food, music, and community!

CLUCK | It was a chick-a-bration for Silvera’s Westview Town Suites residents last week who hatched two chicks, just in time for spring. Nanny McCluckins Chick Hatching Experiences supplied the eggs from local farms that were incubated at Westview for 21 days. After they hatched, the chicks stayed at Westview for a week, allowing residents to get in some snuggles. During chick-time, a few residents recalled their younger years on farms tending their own birds and animals.
