Latest construction images (up, up we go!)
I just wanted to say how great it has been to meet so many more of you over the last few weeks. Even with all the rain (when will it stop???), you have taken the time to stop by our presentation centre to say 'hello' and check out our progress. The response to Hollandview Trail and the services we are going to offer has been fantastic! I thought it would be nice to share some of the latest photos we have from the construction site. As you can see, we are well on our way, and on track for opening our doors in April 2009. Some of those views are really breathtaking. No surprise, those are the units that are being grabbed up first. We'll keep adding more photos as we get them, so let us know if there are any views in particular that you would be interested in seeing. Also, stay tuned for news about some great educational courses coming up about retirement living etc.

Betty Moore and Our Victory Garden
We were happy to see Betty Moore visit our booth at the Aurora Home Show. Betty is a board member of the Aurora Seniors Association and it was Betty who suggested we have a Victory Garden at our Hollandview Trail Community. Betty was pleased to see her idea come to life in the drawing of the gardens. It is a wonderful idea and we are so glad that Betty suggested it to us. We have decided to make the Victory Garden a part of each retirement community we build. If you want to read more about the Victory Garden; click on Amenities and then on the left column, click Victory Garden. Thanks again Betty for a great idea !!!!
So Nice To Meet You
We had a very busy time at the Aurora Home Show last weekend. It was so nice to meet so many of you that I have either talked to on the phone or by email. It was nice to see so many as excited as we are about Hollandview Trail Retirement Residence. We had the Wii System set up and we had lots of players, bowling seemed to be the favourite. We had a lovely visit from Betty Moore who is a board member of the Aurora Seniors Association, Betty is the one who inspired us to build a Victory Garden at Hollandview Trail. She gave us the great idea during our Groundbreaking ceremony last fall. The Victory Garden will have raised beds and I am sure the chef will love it when people grow fresh herbs and vegetables. Learn more about the Victory Garden by clicking on "Amenities and then "Victory Garden"
Thanks again for dropping by our booth and we look forward to seeing you at the Presentation Centre. I will post the opening date and times of operation very shortly. Have a great weekend, hopefully it will be a repeat of last.
