Earlier this month, two chefs from our residences were selected to participate in a first-ever culinary competition at the Hospitality Innovation Forum. Harold Lemos from Amica White Rock in B.C. and Jordan Weinberg, RSE from Amica Little Lake in Ontario were hand-picked by Gary McBlain, National Director of Culinary Services, based on their performance in the residences, resident satisfaction scores and the confidence that they would represent Amica very well. The two had never met, but had to work as a team to create dishes from surprise ingredients under a time limit. They did a wonderful job, creating a delicious mushroom and Swiss chard crostini, a halibut dish with leek risotto and more! 🍽️ We’re so proud and grateful to have such talented Red Seal chefs preparing beautiful meals for our residents every day. Seniors can truly taste the Amica difference.👨🍳

Happy #NationalNursingWeek🩺 We want to thank our nurses in our residences across the country for everything they do, day in and day out, to care for our residents and each other. #AmicaEdgemontVillage celebrated by hosting a special luncheon for their nurses, including residents who are former nurses, to honour their important work. They also displayed the residents’ nursing portraits for all to see. Special thanks to team members Sarah and Karen who organize this special event each year.

Yesterday, Amica paid tribute to #RedDressDay, a national day dedicated to honouring the missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and 2S+ peoples. Our residences each created unique displays—an idea that came from the Amica’s Indigenous Group, whose goal is to provide support and spread awareness within the organization.

Our Sip and Savour Italy event was a great success! 🇮🇹🍝🍷 A big ‘grazie’ to the Culinary teams who planned and executed deliciously cultural events this past month. Our chefs get to use their passion and creativity to make a real impact. Seniors couldn’t get enough of the beautiful spreads and tastings—one resident said, ""This is some of the best food we have ever had!” One highlight of the event was the lively pizza-making class put on by @Chef Camilo Torres from #AmicaPickering.🍕 We’re so grateful to have talented team members who consistently go above and beyond for our residents.

Wishing a #HappyPassover to all those celebrating the holiday this week.🥚🍷 We hope you enjoy this meaningful time surrounded by loved ones.
