As we welcome Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, let’s embrace this time of reflection, renewal, and joy! 🍏🍯
Rosh Hashanah, meaning "Head of the Year," is a beautiful opportunity to celebrate the creation of the world and to set intentions for the year ahead.
…Here are some ways to honour this special occasion:
✨ Dip Apples in Honey: A sweet tradition symbolizing our wishes for a sweet new year.
🕯️ Light the Candles: Begin the holiday by lighting candles to bring warmth and light into our homes.
📖 Engage in Reflection: Take time for Cheshbon HaNefesh (Accounting of the Soul) to reflect on the past year and set goals for personal growth.
🌊 Perform Tashlich: Symbolically cast away your sins by throwing pieces of bread into a flowing body of water.
🥘 Enjoy Festive Meals: Gather with loved ones to share traditional foods like round challah, pomegranates, and new fruits.
Let’s celebrate together and wish each other Shana Tova U’Metukah—a good and sweet year ahead! 💖

Today, we celebrate National Senior Citizens Day! 🎉
This special day reminds us to honour the invaluable contributions of our seniors to our families and communities. Let's take a moment to appreciate the wisdom, love, and stories they share with us.
Here are some …meaningful ways to celebrate:
▪️ Spend Quality Time: Visit a senior in your life—whether it's a grandparent, neighbour, or friend. Play games, share stories, or simply enjoy each other's company.
▪️ Plan a Fun Outing: Take them out for lunch, a walk in the park, or a visit to a museum. Make it a day to remember!
▪️ Offer Help: Assist with chores or errands. Little acts of kindness can make a big difference.
▪️ Listen and Learn: Encourage them to share their life stories. You might discover something new and valuable.
▪️ Volunteer: Consider volunteering at a local senior center. Your time can brighten someone's day!
Let's spread the love and appreciation today!

🧡 Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we pause to honour the children who never returned home and the Survivors of residential schools, along with their families and communities.
This day is a crucial part of the reconciliation process, acknowledging the tragic …history and ongoing impacts of these schools.
Let's wear orange to show our support and raise awareness of the inter-generational impacts of residential schools, emphasizing the message that "Every Child Matters."
Join in local activities across the country to commemorate this day, and take a moment to learn about the rich cultures, voices, and histories of the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples.
Together, we can advance reconciliation and renew relationships with Indigenous peoples based on respect and partnership.
If you or someone you know needs support, mental health resources are available for Indigenous peoples.
