President’s Message 
February 24, 2025
Hello everyone,
I’m pleased to present you with the winter edition of Connections. The first issue of the year is always a time to reflect on the past year while looking forward to what lies ahead. Together, the stories in this edition paint a picture of the people and places that are propelling us forward.
In November, we were excited to introduce Bloomsbury, a groundbreaking, longevity focused community that celebrates the long, engaged and contributing life. Ten years in the making, Bloomsbury is the first of its kind in Canada, offering a blend of social, retail, health, wellness, and dining amenities within a residential setting. A new club and residential concept called Allbright Life is central to Bloomsbury. Allbright Life club members have access to dining and entertainment venues, a co-working centre, event space, a library, gym, health centre and thermal spa. Both Bloomsbury and Allbright Life are designed to foster connectivity and convenience for residents, club members and the public. I invite you to visit our websites to learn more (welcometobloomsbury.ca and allbrightlife.ca).
As our organization enters its 37th year, we continue to find new ways to deliver on our vision of leading the way to better living. In December we welcomed the first patients to West Bedford Transitional Health in Halifax, N.S. Transitional Health is an innovative model of care developed in partnership with Nova Scotia
Health to support patients who no longer require acute care but still need assistance transitioning back to the community. While it is still early days, we are seeing promising outcomes for patients as well as creating efficiencies in the overall health system.
As always, at the heart of this work are our Great People. In the fall, we conducted our annual employee satisfaction survey, and I’m pleased to share that we received certification as a Great Place to Work. This was a new survey for our organization, conducted by a third party to gather more in-depth feedback from employees. We saw exceptional participation in the new survey which is helping better understand the ways we’re successful and where we need to improve to be an employer of choice everywhere we operate.
I hope you enjoy reading about these and many other meaningful initiatives in this issue. Together, we are building a bright future, and 2025 is looking great so far.
