On June 23 morning, Calgary was showered by rain but Wing Kei was shined by love! Over 1,000 participants proudly showed up at the Chinese Cultural Centre for the 18th annual Wing Kei Walkathon in their bright yellow t-shirts, raising over $270,000 dollars! We would like to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to all our sponsors, dignitaries, volunteers and staff members. THANK YOU to those who came out to support the Walk For Seniors. We are truly inspired by your effort and resilience. Indeed, we walk the walk together!
On Friday April 20, 2018, we are delighted to have Honourable Sarah Hoffman (Deputy Premier & Minister of Health) amongst our seniors in Wing Kei Crescent Heights. Her warmth has brought sunshine smiles to our residents, while Minister Hoffman soaked herself in the warm welcome from residents, and admired creativity in their art and craftwork. She was impressed with our excellent care, our role in training future professionals, and our vision in growth and supporting aging in place. Minister Hoffman has a lot of interest in our strategic plan, and also spent time at the Centre Street West Campus site to understand our growth proposal.
Wing Kei Crescent Heights gladly received Ms. Lu Xu, Consul General of People's Republic of China in Calgary and Mr. Zhenting Gao, Deputy Consul General of People's Republic of China in Calgary at their visit on March 2, 2018. We shared the mutual passion of serving the growing Chinese population in Calgary. Chinese New Year greetings were sent to seniors on all the floors. Lively conversations were shared between the visitors, residents and families. Residents were especially happy receiving mandarin oranges (meaning “gift of Gold” in Chinese) from our guests.
Blessed with sunshine and support from Wing Kei’s friends, family members and community members, a beautiful celebration of Greenview Long Term Care Roof Topping was held on Friday, February 23, 2018. This signifies another major milestone of Wing Kei’s growth. We are thankful to the very encouraging words from all, and will continue to share more details as the construction progresses.
