The "Hell's Grannies" Delight at North York Seniors Centre

The North York Seniors Centre recently held the premiere of the documentary "Hell's Grannies".

This inspiring documentary features 78 year old Sybil Rampen.  Once day Sybil realized that the years were slipping by her, so she decided to try and re-energize her life.  Inspired by her adventurous travels across Europe in her 20's, Sybil gathered up seven of her closest friends to try something new and fun together.  Instead of engaging in sweet grandmother-like activities, Sybil decided to start up a motor cycle gang of grannies.  The ladies wear leather outfits, hang out in a clubhouse, do television shows, pose for photographs and generally "raise hell", love and laughter!

The wonderful Sybil Rampen

Kelly James and Keri Mingo from Delmanor Seniors Communites were in attendance as proud supporters of this premier event.  Following the documentary, there was a short question and answer session with the film's star Sybil Rampen, and producer David Bjurney from East Hill Productions.

This widely popular documentary was a huge success on its premiere night!  Along with some hilarious and inspiring ladies, the documentary taught everyone about being ridiculous, taking chances, and recognizing the value of life in all stages!

The Toronto Mandolin Orchestra Visits Delmanor Prince Edward

The Toronto Mandolin Orchestra, founded in 1956, is one of Canada’s oldest community performing groups. It is a continuation of the proud tradition of mandolin orchestras and schools which flourished in the Ukrainian, Jewish, Russian, Macedonian, Finnish and other communities in Canada.

The orchestra has performed on prestigious stages across Canada and twice toured Ukraine. Though founded in the Ukrainian community, the Ensemble’s membership (Ukrainian, Russian, Jewish, Serbian, Macedonian, Hungarian, Asian, English, Peruvian and more) is as ethnically diverse as its repertoire which spans classical, folk, popular, and original music.

 

Orchestra Soloists Hassan, Adele, Tanya Helen & Herman

  On Monday, June 1^st, the 30-piece Toronto Mandolin Orchestra, directed by Alexander Veprinskiy, performed an outstanding concert for the residents and team members of Delmanor Prince Edward. The beautiful sounds of the mandolin family of instruments augmented by accordions, woodwinds, piano, and percussion combined the intimacy of a chamber ensemble with all the power of a symphony. Not only were the sounds of the instruments brilliant, but the vocalists delivered an exceptional performance as well! With songs including “Ukrainian Folk Suite”, “Libiamo”, “Waltz”, “I Could Have Danced All Night”, “Polka”, “Linden Tree”, and many more, the performers left the audience speechless.

Full ensemble of Toronto Mandolin Orchestra

 Residents and team members were able to enjoy some delicious desserts and refreshments, the wonderful company of friends, and beautiful music, while supporting someone very special and close to them! One of Prince Edward’s very own residents, Eda, is one of the many members of the Toronto Mandolin Orchestra and an incredible mandolinist! As an integral part of the orchestra, she displayed her wonderful talent as a musician, but also brought about a lovely, warm spirit to the performance!

Resident Eda With members Ira & Charles

The concert could have continued all night, but ultimately left the audience in a standing ovation. Residents and team members were in awe at the beauty and grace that the Toronto Mandolin Orchestra brought to the residence and look forward to enjoying their talents again!

Delmanor Elgin Mills "Walk for Alzheimer's'

Hundreds of thousands of Canadians are living with Alzheimer's Disease.  A diagnosis of Alzheimer's is life changing for the person with the disease, as well as for their family and friends.

For the past 24 years, 'Walk for Memories' and 'Memory Walks' have become the largest fundraising events in Canada to gain support and awareness for Alzheimer's disease and other dementia's. Due to increased awareness in not only the disease itself, but also in the annual Walks, the Alzheimer Society of Canada changed the title of the event to simply, Walk for Alzheimer's.

Delmanor Elgin Mills is a proud supporter of the Walk for Alzheimer's and have committed to this event for at least the next five years.  As Alzheimer's disease affects many families in some capacity in Canada, Delmanor Elgin Mills feels passionately about devoting time and resources to this important annual event.

Everyone had a great time at the 2015 Walk for Alzheimer's.  The day was further complimented with live entertainment, refreshments and prizes.

"We're walking for a world without Alzheimer's", together.
