August Activities 2023

Welcome to August, the dog days of summer!
This month keep the date in your calendar open for Thursday August 24th as Conestoga Lodge is hosting a Carnival Fun Night from 6pm to 8pm for all residents, families and friends. Join us in the summer evening for a BBQ, Entertainment, Games and More!

Feeling hot, come out to the Patio on a Friday afternoon for a different treat each week. We will be making milkshakes, strawberry daiquiris and ice cream floats to keep cool.

Speaking of hot. A reminder that August can be another month of some extreme hot weather and with that we would like everyone to remember to drink plenty of cool liquids, stay cool in airconditioned areas, keep windows and drapes closed during peak times of the day, reduce sun exposure between 11am to 4pm. Always report to the nurse if you are feeling unwell. Staff will implement protocols in extreme hot weather, along with giving out water and cool treats for all residents.

This month the residents choice for outings is to St. Jacobs Market to shop and have a bite to eat, a Country Drive, a trip to the Mission Thrift Store, shopping at Giant Tiger, lunch at Swiss Chalet and a picnic in Stratford.. Please remember to sign up in the green binder as spaces as limited.

On August 22nd a birthday party will be held to celebrate everyone’s birthday in August with entertainment by Derek Byrne. Wishing all the residents who were born in August a very Happy Birthday!

August 23rd is a Food Meeting with Kevin (Food Service Manager) in the afternoon. All residents are welcome to attend.

Entertainment this month is Country Music with R&S, Paul Schalm, Derek Byrne, Gerry O’Robko and Lost in the Fog Boys.
