The Tulip FestivalCommunity Members enjoyed two excursions to the Tulip Festival in May. The Canadian Tulip Festival was established to celebrate the historic Royal gift of tulips from the Dutch to Canadians immediately following the Second World War as a symbol of international friendship.
Happy 3rd Anniversary V!VA Barrhaven!Monday, May 13th marked V!VA Barrhaven’s 3 year anniversary. Community Members and Team Members enjoyed a fun afternoon with special treats made by our Culinary Team, a fun popsicle drink concocted by our Food Services Manager, Tricia, and musical entertainment by Arlene Quinn. Of special mention, in commemoration of being the first Community Member to move into V!VA Barrhaven, a special gold plate was given to Denise Scrim that will be placed on a bench in the Victory Garden. Thank you to everyone who participated in the festivities and here’s to the next three years!
Bringing Spring indoors.
Not All Heroes andHeroines Wear CapesV!VA Barrhaven celebrated Nurses Appreciation Week in honour of all our past and present nurses. Photos of our nurses including some nursing momentos were placed in the lobby to celebrate their important profession. V!VA Barrhaven also hosted a Nurse Appreciation Tea, where our V!VA Barrhaven nurses were presented with a small token of our appreciation from our Wellness Manager, Donna Fe.

BRAIN TEASERThere’s been a theft at the Big Al’s Big Kahuna Surfboard Shop. Police have interviewed six suspects.
Below is a summary of their statements. Police know that exactly four of them told one lie each and all of the other
statements are true. From this information can you tell who committed the crime?
Sneaky Pete said: It wasn’t Fast Eddie It wasn’t Slick Nick It wasn’t Tony Lip
Fast Eddie said: It wasn’t Sneaky Pete It wasn’t Smugs McGee It wasn’t Tony Lip
Smugs McGee said: It wasn’t Fast Eddie It wasn’t Steady Freddie It wasn’t Tony Lip
Slick Nick said: It wasn’t Sneaky Pete It wasn’t Steady Freddie It wasn’t Smugs McGee
Tony Lip said: It wasn’t Smugs McGee It wasn’t Slick Nick It wasn’t Steady Freddie
Steady Freddie said: It wasn’t Smugs McGee It wasn’t Slick Nick It wasn’t Sneaky Pete
Brain Teaser Answer: Smugs McGee committed the crime. If any other person had committed the crime there would not be exactly 4 lies told.
