Sharing a few beautiful moments and paintings from another recent Guru Amar Das Niwas seniors’ program in Chestermere.

> Our participants spent the afternoon painting, expressing creativity through colour, shapes, and imagination. Beyond the joy of creating art, painting is a wonderful way to support fine motor skills, hand strength, coordination, and cognitive engagement, all while giving our seniors a relaxing space to connect and unwind.

> We’re so proud of the artwork they created and the confidence that grows with every brushstroke.🖌🎨🖼

✨️Another wonderful week with our Guru Amar Das Niwas seniors’ program in Chestermere.

> We started this week’s Guru Amar Das Niwas seniors’ session in Chestermere with light exercise and warm cha, the perfect way to get everyone moving and comfortable.

> Than we explored origami, a calming and creative activity that helps strengthen focus, fine motor skills, and hand–eye coordination. It was beautiful watching everyone fold, laugh, and share stories as their creations came to life.

> Programs like these keep our elders engaged, connected, and surrounded by community.

A beautiful afternoon in Chestermere with our Guru Amar Das Niwas seniors’ program!

Last week we explored painting and hands‑on activities designed to support fine motor skills, creativity, and confidence. The room was full of colour, laughter, and connection. And of course, we ended with cha and pakoray, because no gathering is complete without them.

Programs like this help our seniors stay active, social, and rooted in culture.

✨ Happy New Year from the Guru Amar Das Niwas Senior Day Program ✨

We kicked off our first program of the year in Chestermere with a prayer and energizing exercises to start 2026 with positivity and connection. From there, we explored SMART goals and how seniors can weave them into their daily lives for confidence, clarity, and purpose.

To wrap up the day, everyone jumped into a fun team‑building challenge, using only a deck of cards to build the tallest tower. The creativity, laughter, and teamwork were the perfect start to a new year of learning and community.

More details about our next program will be shared soon. If you are an isolated senior, or know someone who could benefit from connection and community, we welcome you to join us! 🙏

International Friendship day - July 30

Social support networks can be defined as any group of friends, family and people around us who help us overcome times of stress and adversity and provide us with tangible and meaningful support. Social support, particularly in the form of friendship, becomes even more important as individuals age. Social isolation and loneliness has a high prevalence rate in older adults and this unfortunately can be one of many precursors to sadness, loss of hope and depression. These phenomena can be reversed and even prevented by curating strong networks of friends and engaging with them regularly. Furthermore, having positive friendships can protect against cognitive decline, early mortality and can help improve physical health! Oftentimes in South Asian culture, friendships are viewed as child’s play, however this is far from the truth! Everyone needs positive and meaningful friendships in their lives, particularly the elderly. It is important to encourage the older individuals in your lives to make friends, nurture these relationships and celebrate them! Next time you meet an older loved one in your life, we encourage you to talk to them about the friends in their life and how they can / are positively impacting their life! Happy international friendship day to everyone from the Guru Amar Das Niwas team!
