What If You Could Laugh Every Day?
How Laughter Boosts Senior Health

Laughter is all about finding joy in everyday moments! It requires a little intentionality, but the effort is worthwhile. Laughter is a way to surround yourself with positivity and entertainment.

Expressing Your Creativity

At The Edward we believe in the power of art, from the artworks on our walls to the activities we offer. Painting offers a peaceful escape and an opportunity to create something truly unique. When it comes to creating art, there’s no right or wrong. It’s not just about the final piece, it’s about the process, the colours, and the calm it brings.

Our community recently enjoyed Dueling Pianos performance with Jerry Proppe and Craig Learmont.

We spent a wonderful afternoon exploring printmaking with Alberta Printmakers! Residents experimented with textures and techniques to create unique works of art.

We had an amazing time exploring our creativity in a painting class. It was a wonderful opportunity to relax and connect with one another through art.
