In preparation for CONNECT’s 20(+5) anniversary being celebrated in September, CONNECT is finding reasons to celebrate each month leading up to the big event.

Both Langley and Lake Country planned a sports day on July 17, although Lake Country was forced to stay indoors because of a forest fire smoke warning issued by Interior Health. Staff and residents settled on an on-site barbecue.

In Langley, everyone gathered at Derby Reach Regional Park in Langley for games, food and plenty of sunshine.

“It was the best turnout we’ve ever had for a resident event,” said Janette Jackman, Leader of Our People Resources at CONNECT. “I think only two residents couldn’t join us.”

We also said farewell to Adele MacNeill, Independence Coach, who is moving on from CONNECT. Best of luck Adele!

And stay tuned for more festivities in August.
