Message from Carol Howard,
Director of Housing
Hello everyone.
You may or may not be aware that KinVillage Vidal Court building has just
recently replaced the elevator in the building. The building only has the one
elevator therefore; this was a huge undertaking and a very difficult time for
many tenants to be able to manage.
I wanted to highlight some of the wonderful high points throughout this process.
Firstly, the response by volunteers to help support our tenants through this
difficult time. It is truly amazing how many volunteers came forward to provide
their support and time throughout the four week period. Words cannot say
enough in regards to our appreciation of their support.
Secondly, to the tenants living in Vidal court that also volunteered their time to
support their neighbours in the building, thank you so much. Again, this truly
shows our sense of community spirit throughout KinVillage.
Throughout the whole process, the volunteers provided meal service, grocery
shopping, laundry service, delivered mail, and newspapers, provided
companionship. This was not just for a few hours or a few days, it was four
weeks of support, truly remarkable.
Thank you to Susan Martin Coordinator of Volunteers, for arranging and
scheduling the volunteers throughout the process. Also to the recreation
department who provided extra programming on the second and third floor of
the building.
To all the tenants in Vidal Court thank you so much for all your understanding,
patience, and support throughout this difficult time and I hope everyone enjoys
using the new and safer elevator in the building.
Regards
Carol Howard
Director of Housing

CEO Message
November 2013
On October 5th, I was delighted to join the
party celebrating the 10th “Birthday” of
ElderCollege Delta.
ECD was established 10 years ago under the
umbrella of KinVillage’s Community Centre.
KinVillage’s Mission is to support older adults
to live their lives fully; we value community L to R: Kerry Bentley (Board Chair), Paulette Tattersall
and we value growth. Over the years, ECD
(Chair, ECD Council), Donna Ellis (CEO)
has provided more than 600 mature students,
not only with opportunities to learn something new, try something different, in short, to
grow….. but, also opportunities for fun and companionship….in short, cultivating
community.
KinVillage is very pleased and proud to have been able to support ECD, led by a strong
and dedicated group of volunteers, through 10 years of inspiring, encouraging, and
enhancing lifelong learning in our community.
Congratulations and thank you ECD!
Sincerely,
As Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia I am pleased to extend my
congratulations to ElderCollege Delta on its 10th anniversary. I am a strong
proponent of continual learning and am so pleased that this volunteer-led
initiative has encouraged elders in the community to continue their knowledge
journey. It is a wonderful way to learn new skills, meet interesting and likeminded people and keep citizens engaged in the community. Thank you to all
the volunteers who have made ElderCollege Delta such a success. Your
dedication and selflessness is truly inspiring! On behalf of Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth II and all the people of British Columbia, congratulations on reaching
this milestone and may this important initiative continue for years to come.
The Honourable Judith Guichon, OBC
Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia

Approaching Remembrance Day and Christmas thoughts of peace are on our minds,
peace protected by our armed forces
and longed for peace of every kind.
Are you longing for, as I am,
all violence and wars to cease;
envisioning a harmonious world
where love and joy increase?
Are we peaceful in the way we live,
avoiding judgment and hurtful chatter?
Do we truly believe that love and joy
are what make our lives really matter?
They are the most important gifts
that we can give and receive
and the only way we’ll have peace on earth.
We need to truly believe.
Peace has to start with you and me
through love and respect for each other,
accepting that we have differing views
as we’re unique from one another.
I have my beliefs and traditions
and they feel right to me.
It’s not offensive if your beliefs differ,
we can share peace that’s meant to be.

1:30 PM - TUESDAY SOCIAL & MOVIE
Tim Bits with Tea or Coffee
$3 Members or $4 Non-Members - Includes a free movie.
Tuesday, November 5th - Love is All you Need (new DVD release)
Philip (Pierce Brosnan), an Englishman living in Denmark, is a lonely,
middle-aged widower and estranged single father. Ida is a Danish
hairdresser, recuperating from a long bout of illness, who's just been
left by her husband for a younger woman. The fates of these two
bruised souls are about to intertwine, as they embark for a trip to
Italy to attend the wedding of Patrick and Astrid, Philip's son and
Ida's daughter. With warmth, affection and confidence, Susanne Bier
has shaken a cocktail of love, loss, absurdity, humor, and delicately drawn characters
that will leave only the hardest heart untouched. It is a film about the simple yet
profound pains and joys of moving on - and forward - with your life. Review: There's
something about a free spirit, even in a movie, that makes everything and everyone
around her feel more vibrant.
Tuesday, November 19th - Still Mine - In his first lead role after
decades of playing supporting characters, James Cromwell gives a
tour de force performance. Still Mine, is an exquisitely crafted and
deeply affecting love story about a couple in their twilight years.
Based on true events and laced with wry humor, it tells the heartfelt
tale of Craig Morrison who comes up against the system when he
sets out to build a more suitable house for his ailing wife Irene
(Genevive Boujold). Hauled into court and facing jail, Craig takes a
final stance against all odds in a truly inspirational story.
WE WON’T BE HAVING A MOVIE DECEMBER 3RD
We will be showing Polar Express on December 17th.
Tuesday, December 17th - Polar Express with Tom Hanks - On
Christmas Eve of 1956, a young boy who lives in Grand Rapids,
Michigan, is hoping for belief in the true spirit of Christmas. He
wakes up when studying evidence of the existence of Santa Claus,
the protagonist hears loud screeching sounds and runs outside. He
sees newly blown steam reveal a magical train called the "Polar
Express." The conductor tells him that the train is headed to the
North Pole, and is told that it is the year to board it.
