Holiday Magic 2021
The Northwood Foundation is thrilled to have Van Wart Productions embrace our Northwood Community once again this year with Holiday Magic, which will be aired on CTV, December 18th from 5-6pm. Since 1992, Van Wart Productions of Halifax has been bringing delight to the stage through the Holiday Magic showcase. Two years-ago, we began planning an inaugural Holiday Magic fundraiser in support of the Northwood Foundation. The CTV special was such a great success that we are producing it again this year. Presented by Avondale Construction Group, Holiday Magic is a musical fundraiser that showcases local talent with some of your holiday favourites! Created in the spirit of giving back to our community, the show will feature performances from local artists, musicians,

HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Holiday Greetings from Northwood CEO Janet Simm As we enter the twilight of 2021, there is an eagerness to enter a new year of positivity and happiness. We have all been looking forward to getting back to a happier time, free from the challenges of COVID-19. As we all look back over the last two years, it’s amazing to me how far we have come as an organization, a city, and a province. As the doors of 2021 close, I look back on the dedication, compassion, and bravery of all the Northwood family. You truly are amazing. The support our residents receive from the Northwood staff, volunteers, and the Northwood Foundation is truly
incredible. All the sacrifices you have made will be remembered by those residents and clients who were able to continue to live with dignity because of your hard work and compassion. I hope this holiday season and the year ahead hold great things for you and your family. This season is a time to spend with the people you love, reflect on the year that has past and look to a shining future. I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and yours all the best during this holiday season with much health, happiness, and prosperity in the new year.

www.northwood.care THE MAKING OF HOLIDAY MAGIC
A behind the scenes glimpse into the production By: Crystal Jamieson
At a luncheon five yearsago Robert VanWart, owner of VanWart Productions met Northwood CEO, Janet Simm and Managing Director of the Northwood Foundation, Faye LeBlanc. That luncheon meeting would eventually lead to the making of Holiday Magic in support of The Northwood Foundation. “Faye saw something in what I do and thought I would be a good match with Northwood,” says VanWart. “I was busy with other projects when we met but she kept in touch with me. I eventually joined the Foundation Board where I presented an overview for Holiday Magic.” The concept for Holiday Magic started in 1992 with VanWart’s plan to support young, emerging artists while raising funds for charity. He pairs the young artists with seasoned artists to help give them experience and exposure. He has used the concept to help other maritime not-for-profits with their fundraising efforts using different names for the event. “The show is a mix of performers, choirs, pipe bands, cloggers, whatever the audience for that not-forprofit enjoys,” says VanWart. “We have had many faces over the decades but it’s always an all-inclusive, family orientated show full of Canadian talent”. The Canadian content is so high it scored a one hundred per-cent with the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications (CRTC). The production has traditionally been live at the Spatz theatre, however
with the pandemic, they had to change to a pre-recorded virtual performance. You will see in the interviews masks have been lowered, but even in the virtual performances, social distancing is recognized and distance was kept while masks were off. Although the production last year was put together quickly, it was still an overwhelming success. “We only had thirty-eight days last year to put together the show,” notes VanWart. “We were very lucky to have Revolve, Sonic Temple and Rockbound Productions on board to help us bring together the first televised Holiday Magic.” When Avondale Construction was approached for a sponsorship, right away they signed on as our Presenting sponsor. They were so taken with the quality of Holiday Magic and the contributions made to Northwood that Avondale Construction has again taken on the Presenting sponsor title for our upcoming production. The first year exceeded expectations and broke records for CTV. According

To get that holiday feel a Christmas tree was set up in the cafeteria for the interviews. After the to VanWart the normal interviews video footage was viewership of 25-30,000 taken around the Main Street people for that time slot and area of the Halifax Campus was increased to almost talking to residents and staff. 200,000 with Holiday Magic.

Did you know volunteering among seniors is linked to improved quality of life, stronger social networks, increased levels of physical activity and lower mortality rates? Many seniors are at risk for social isolation and aging-related stresses, that’s why we offer a variety of activities and volunteer opportunities here at Northwood. Northwood residents Mary-Anne Jones and Brenda Wyatt have dedicated most of their lives to volunteering. “I have been a volunteer with one organization or another since my teens and I am in my 50’s now,” says Jones. “I wanted more structure in my life, I wanted something to do and also, I want to give back and help people be a part of a community.” Jones spends her Friday afternoons assisting a group of volunteers with putting together COVID self-testing kits for staff and volunteers. She also does wheelchair orientations with staff, students, and interns. “It’s about how they would bring a person from upstairs down to an activity on the main floor and about telling them to keep their elbows in when they are in a porter chair,” describes Jones. Wyatt, like Jones, has spent a good portion of her life volunteering, this
is her eighteenth year in Northwood, and she recalls how it all started. “I started my volunteer work here as a porter taking residents back and forth from getting their hair done,” recalls Wyatt. “I retired from work and needed something to do, I came here and put my name in to volunteer as a porter.” Jones says she was asked before she retired if she would live in Northwood, “I said No, but I finally decided to and I never regret it, I love it here, the people are so nice.” Both Jones and Wyatt help with the Seeds of Success program. “I did a big project that I am very proud of,” says Wyatt. “We lost a lot of our members with seeds of success, and I came up with an idea to make a book and dedicated it to all the ones we have lost. I got it done, I had help with the writing, but I did the words.”
Jones and Wyatt are in wheelchairs, but they don’t let their disabilities get in the way of helping others and encourage others to do the same. “I think people think of the work aspect of volunteering and what they can contribute,” says Jones. “I have mobility issues and low vision and wondered what could I possibly do? I see people with far more disabilities than myself who are out there volunteering, anybody can help out.” Northwood offers a variety of opportunities for volunteers, there is truly something for everyone and the benefits are two-fold. “You can make a difference in other people’s lives and your own life,” says Jones. “It’s very rewarding. I think a lot of people who don’t volunteer are shy or whatever but it’s really a positive experience, it certainly has been for me.”

Cycling Without Age Season Wrap-Up By: Ruth-Ellen Jackson
Cycling Without Age is a movement started in 2012 by Ole Kassow. Ole wanted to help the elders get back on their bicycles, but he had to find a solution to their limited mobility. The answer was a trishaw and he started offering free bike rides to the local nursing home residents. He then got in touch with a civil society consultant from the City of Copenhagen, Dorthe Pedersen, who was intrigued by the idea and together they bought five trishaws and launched Cycling Without Age, which has now spread to all corners of Denmark, and since 2015 to another 50 countries around the world. Northwood started the first chapter of Cycling Without Age in Nova Scotia this spring 2021. It took off like a kid on a bike! Northwood’s 8 Pilot volunteers went on over 100 rides with Tenants from Halifax and Bedford. Some of the exciting trips were around the Halifax North End, the Halifax Commons, the Public Gardens, and the Halifax Waterfront. In Bedford, the Tenants were able to explore the trendy West Bedford neighbourhood and take a ride through DeWolfe park. Cycling Without Age participated in the Musquodoboit Pride Parade, the Halifax and Dartmouth open Street festivals, and the Halifax Cycling Coalition “I Light Halifax” evening bike ride. We even have some local celebrities as Pilots! Andy Filmore, the liberal MP
has taken several Tenants out for rides. Sometimes the highlight of the ride is actually the homemade ice cream from the Lemonade General store in the Hydrostone market. Next season be sure to order the Mad-Lynn, a combination of vanilla and chocolate coined by two Northwood Tenants Mad Shae and Lynn Eyland. The Trishaw, named for its three wheels and close resemblance to a rickshaw,
has gone into hibernation for the winter. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for rides coming next spring. Just like in Denmark where
the trishaw is from, when the tulips start popping out Cycling Without Age will be on the roads.

Another successful season has ended for the William E. Frank Live More Park and Community Garden. This summer/ autumn we hosted: - Park Clean Up Event: opportunity for staff, clients and community to join in the maintenance of our green space, such as pruning, weeding, mulching, planting, etc. We provided seeds to participants to plant onsite and to take home. Food and beverages provided for volunteers. We also had lawn games set up, while socially distanced. Used this opportunity to promote the 'edible' features of our park (fruit trees, bushes, etc.) and promote our Community Garden all while learning how to care for our community space and prepping it for a funfilled summer of events and programs. - Movies in the Park: Thanks to the generous help

EasyRide comes to Northwood Northwood Employees, John Signer-Romero and Kathleen Newcombe are part of a new program being introduced at Northwood’s Halifax Campus, EasyRide. “I have loved riding the e-bike to work,” says Newcombe. “The bike is able to keep up with local traffic and I never have to worry about finding a parking spot! It is also an easy way to add in extra exercise and outdoor time to my daily life.” Signer-Romero agrees that the bike has made a difference in his commute to work, “Having the e-bike has changed my relationship with riding to work. Instead of arriving sweaty and uncomfortable, I'm able to easily navigate the hills and enjoy the experience while arriving at work ready to go.” Working at the Halifax Campus where parking is difficult to find, the e-bike makes the commute to work much easier. WHAT IS THE EASYRIDE INITIATIVE? The EasyRide e-bike initiative creates opportunities for employees to experience how an electric bike could fit into their work commute and lifestyle, without the initial financial commitment. Barriers like distance, topography, and fitness level can discourage people
from thinking of biking as a viable transportation option. With this initiative a cohort of Northwood employees will have the opportunity to try out the e-bikes for free. Participants receive an e-bike on loan for 6 weeks, along with accessories (helmet, bell, lock, charger), and Making Tracks safe cycling training to take to the streets and trails with confidence. Participants will be surveyed before and interviewed after their loan period to explore the uptake and integration of electric bikes in participants’ daily life and any changes in attitudes toward cycling. WHY IS THE EASYRIDE INITIATIVE IMPORTANT? Transportation is responsible for 31% of GHG emissions in Nova Scotia. To achieve GHG emission reductions in the transportation sector, a significant proportion of trips currently made by car will need to shift to sustainable modes of transportation, such as cycling, walking and transit. Where accessible, walking can replace short trips and transit is good for reaching common destinations but cycling offers the scheduling flexibility and range of a car for common daily commutes and errands

The Gift By: Lynn Eyland
One wintery day, two radio workers settled in the Derby Tavern on Gottingen St. A small boy about eightyears-old shuffled in with his toes out of his shoes. He is shivering from the cold outside. He was removed by the staff, but he came back twice more. So, one of the men inquired of his tenacity. The small boy said that his mother and baby sister were home with no food, so he was hoping to make some money to take home. The two men discussed what could be done to help the young boy. A hat was passed around the tavern and $15 was collected, which was a good amount for 1964! In that tavern in Halifax, on that day, an idea began to form. They continued to discuss what could be done for such children and their families... like what would their Christmas be like? So, they spoke with TV people and produced a telethon
