The Village Of Tansley Woods

Here at our village, Remembrance Day holds a special meaning as we are fortunate to have residents among us who have served our country, and we are deeply grateful for the opportunity to honour them.

We will remember them; the brave men and women who have served our country, those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and those whose lives have been forever changed by war. We recognize the families and loved ones who stood beside them.

Let us keep their memory strong and commit to bringing peace on Earth, and “let it begin with me”.

Today we reflect on how residential schools have not just impacted us as individuals, but as a nation.
Truth and Reconciliation Day is a time to remember the children and the families and honour them with our community and a pledge to acknowledge every aspect of the creation of our country, and how we can continue to do better than we did yesterday.
The Village of Tansley Woods is located on the land of many nations, including Haudenosaunee, Anishinabewaki, Mississauga, and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people. We also acknowledge that Burlington is covered by Treaty 3 and Brant Tract Treaty 8 with the Mississauga of the Credit First Nation.
Let us work together for a brighter future for all 🧡

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Ron. We hope to continue his legacy through our service and contributions to the senior community.
🌳🏡💚

On Saturday, September 19, Schlegel Villages lost the man who started it all.

Ron Schlegel grew up on a farm near Ailsa Craig, baling straw to pay his way through university and, eventually, a doctorate. That same hunger for knowledge carried him through decades of building: businesses in turkey farming, urban development, and mental health care, and in 1991, the very first Village, in Kitchener.

Ask anyone who spent time with Ron and they'll tell you the same thing first: he talked to everyone. Team members, researchers, visitors, whoever was in front of him. He wanted to know their story, and he listened like it mattered, because to him, it did.

When his own health began to decline, Ron chose to live at The Village of Winston Park, the Village he helped build from the ground up. He and his wife Barb spent those years the way he always had: visiting residents and team members, asking questions, staying curious.

Ron was named an Officer of the Order of Canada for his contributions to seniors' care and research. But the belief he seemed proudest of was simpler than any award: that every elder holds wisdom, and every person is worth knowing.
