Waterside will be hosting 5 days of activites coinciding
with one of the worlds largest rodeos, the Calgary
Stampede. Starting Monday, July 7th join the Lifestyles
Team for some fun games in the Victory Garden, July
9th dress in your best cowboy/cowgirl gear and join Jim
Ryan for an afternoon of entertainment. July 10th hop
aboard the Waterside for an evening of horse racing
& dinner at the Rideau Carleton Race Track. Finishing
off the week, join the Lifestyles Team once again as
we present a Stampede Snack Bar in the Pub with tasty
treats such as chocolate dipped bananas, corn dogs,
cotton candy and more!
We encourage you to wear your western plaid and hats
throughout the week!
Fathers Day Pig Roast & Bean
Bake-off HUGE success
Our first pig roast and bean bake-off was more successful
than we could have ever imagined. With close to 120
people in attendance the Waterside Team with help
from Rob, The Beckwith Butcher, managed to serve 8lbs
of homebaked beans, 60 lbs of pork, 30 lbs of potato
salad and 2 huge Fathers Day cakes. We were blessed to
have the clouds clear in the afternoon for our chainsaw
carver Peter, to dazzle us with his unbelievable talent.
Congratulations to the Tunwell Family for winning the
Judges Choice Award & Sue Dryburgh for winning the
Peoples Choice Award for the bean bake off.

Walking Across Canada
Starting July 1st, Community Members are
encouraged to compete against our sister V!VA
Retirement Communities in a virtual walk across
Canada. Our challenge will begin in
Newfoundland, travelling westerly throughout
the year.
Guidelines are as follows:
V!VAfit; classes count for distance travelled.
Example: 1 Community Member participant = 10 km
Bus Trips; kms the bus travels = km travelled
PLUS :
Mall trip - 1 Community Member = 15 km
Picnics - 1 Community Member = 5 km
Mystery Tours - 1 Community Member = 10 km
- Weekend Walking Program; grab a partner
or head out on your own. Number of minutes
walked = kms travelled (20 min = 20 km)
VIVAvoyage matinees; number of
Community
Members that attend will earn 2 kms each
As we travel across Canada, the Lifestyles Team
will try to coordinate guest speakers, movies,
and entertainment relevant to the province we
are travelling through. Just think, lobsters in the
Maritimes sounds yummy or kissing the Cod as
we serve screech in the Pub.
We look forward to everyone participating and
beating the other V!VA Retirement Communities
in this challenge across Canada!
