When Doris decided to move into a new community, she knew that Tapestry at Village Gate West was the perfect option.

Prior to moving into Tapestry, Doris lived a very active lifestyle with a great group of friends. She wanted to continue that lifestyle and recognized that it was invaluable to her overall wellness. Doris knew that she wanted to live in a community that not only shared her lifestyle values but also offered new and exciting opportunities to keep her engaged and healthy.

In choosing Tapestry, Doris has found a community where she can remain active and take advantage of the many programs and events that support wellness. In fact, Tapestry daily offers a full calendar (link) of activities aligned to support the seven dimensions of wellness so that our residents can continue to pursue their physical, intellectual and social well-being.

Since moving into Tapestry, Doris “been having a ball”! She has added yoga, jewelry making, knitting for a cause, and most recently TedTalks, to her already busy routine of activities.

And that’s not all! Doris was one of the first Tapestry at Village Gate residents to sign up for our inaugural, “Tapestry Adventure Series”. This enterprising group’s first adventure was walking on the ledge that encircles the CN Tower more than 365 metres above the City of Toronto!

What’s next for our adventure-seeking resident?  “Zip Lining Across Niagara Falls,” says Doris, with a smile. We thank Doris for her enthusiastic commitment to wellness and for pushing the boundaries every day of what it means to live an independent, rich and fulfilled life.
