Community Events

Did you know? Each year, caring individuals and groups raise money by hosting events such as a lemonade stand in the park, dart or golf tournaments, curling bonspiels – to name but a few. If you are ready to organize your own event, call Sara! All it takes is a little creativity, some careful planning, and the desire to positively impact the lives of the seniors and Veterans who call Perley Health home.

Tree of Life

Perley Health’s Tree of Life continues to grow and we are grateful to the families who choose to pay tribute to their loved ones and the care received at Perley Health in this meaningful way.

Fortitude and Quiet Determination

Alex Kowbel always perseveres in the face of adversity. During a career of more than 30 years in the Canadian Forces, he served overseas in both the Second World War and the Korean War, and suffered a broken back in the line of duty. When his daughter was only two years old, Alex’s wife died suddenly, leaving him to raise four children largely as a single parent. Now a 96-year old resident of Perley Health, Alex is determined to recruit enough players for a regular bridge game.

2019 Donor Reception

The Perley Health Foundation hosted more than 160 donors on June 12th at our annual Strawberry Social.

With the support of donors, Perley Health continues to pioneer a concept known as continuity of care: providing access to the housing options, supports and services seniors need to live independently for as long as possible. The experience of Mary and Earle MacDonald illustrates the concept well.

Sharing Her Good Fortune

For Claude Chapdelaine, sharing some of her good fortune with others is a simple pleasure. Each year, she donates some of her investments to the Perley Health Foundation, along with other local charities.

Serving His Community

Throughout his life, Edgar (Ned) Rhodes, who passed away earlier this year at age 82, served the community through volunteerism and philanthropy. His generous spirit lives on through the significant donations he made in his will to several charities, including the Perley Health Foundation, a favourite cause.
