Publisher’s Note
Hello, spring! Kerrisdale Village is alive with the sights and sounds of the season, and as the days grow warmer, shoppers and visitors are out in full force. Patios are filling up, cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and vibrant new banners add even more energy to the streets. The Kerrisdale Business Association has installed Canadian flags alongside the spring banners to remind us that we are both a proud and resilient nation.
For many, this time of year marks celebrations— whether it’s graduation season, home and garden refreshes, or the excitement of planning summer getaways. Meanwhile, Kerrisdale Arena has been transformed into the Play Palace, a much-loved indoor playground open from April 8 to August 28, providing a fun-filled experience for children and families.
Mark your calendars for Kerrisdale Carnival Days! The annual sidewalk sales will kick off on Friday, April 25, featuring special promotions from local businesses and musical performances under the clock starting at noon. On Saturday, April 26, at 10 a.m., don’t miss the Kerrisdale Little League Parade, complete with marching bands and horse-drawn carriage rides along West 41st Avenue. Thanks to the Kerrisdale Business Association for making these fantastic, free events possible!
This issue highlights Amica Arbutus Manor, a premier senior living residence offering beautifully designed suites, serene gardens, gourmet dining, and a wide range of recreational, social, creative and fitness activities. Residents enjoy a balance of independence and support from a dedicated team committed to providing award-winning service.
Also featured is The Colour Market , an exciting new retail destination on West 41st Avenue that focuses on colour-inspired home décor, stationery, and gifts as part of Benjamin Moore’s innovative retail concept.
Improvements to the Arbutus Greenway and West 41st Avenue intersection are underway. The City of Vancouver is undertaking these enhancements to make this area safer and more accessible for all users. There has also been a recent addition of more BC Hydro electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at 5575 West Boulevard.
Sadly, we say farewell to Jess Café. Club Pilates is opening soon on East Boulevard.
Kerrisdale remains a vibrant hub for shopping, dining, and community events. We invite you to join us in celebrating the season at Carnival Days—support your favourite local businesses and take in all that our wonderful neighbourhood has to offer. See you in the village!

AMICA ARBUTUS MANOR: Experience the Difference
Story by Sarah Gordon Photos by Sandra Steier & submitted
Centrally situated on Vancouver’s Westside, Amica Arbutus Manor has offered exceptional senior living for over 50 years. In 1974, the first residents were welcomed to this vibrant community. With an emphasis on comfort and connection, it’s no wonder Amica Arbutus Manor is a beloved residence for so many.
Thomas, an Amica Arbutus Manor resident, shares: "We have found a security in our wellness, comfort in the quality of the environment and a freedom of independent living.”
The community offers 50 independent suites and 64 assisted living suites, all designed to balance autonomy and support. The independent assisted living suites allow for personal furnishings, while the respite suites come fully furnished for short-term stays.
New residents often find they have more free time at their disposal.
Housekeeping staff take care of vacuuming, mopping, and bed-making. Laundromats are
located on each floor for residents’ use. With daily responsibilities lifted, there’s more time to explore the many opportunities available.
The tranquil courtyard features a central garden and a beloved duck pond, bringing nature close to home. Each year, ducklings hatch in the courtyard, delighting residents— one particularly memorable year, three families of ducklings took up residence.
There is something for everyone at the residence, including creative writing and art classes, Amica Jeopardy and entertainment. Residents enjoy two daily movies in the welldesigned theatre, all chosen by a resident-led movie council. Lawn darts, summer lawn
bowling, fitness classes, and chair yoga are a sampling of activities for those seeking an active lifestyle.
Jorg and his wife recently moved into Amica Arbutus Manor. Jorg shares, “The life enrichment team is outstanding with all the activities they plan for us; there’s no time to get bored, and it is totally up to you how active you like to be.”
Monique moved into the residence three years ago. She adds, “Both loners and social butterflies can be accommodated. If determined, you can be busy from breakfast to the evening movie. On the other hand, if
you wish not to participate and keep your own counsel, your decision will be respected.”
Weekly trips are planned to a variety of destinations, including burgers at the beach, swimming, Stanley Park, Steveston, Park Royal, and the much-loved Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. Residents appreciate the weekly Thursday shuttle to Kerrisdale, providing a chance to run errands and visit local cafés.
Exceptional dining is one of the highlights at Amica Arbutus Manor.
Chef Robert, Director of Culinary Services, has dedicated 34 years to enriching the community with his culinary creations. His passion for providing delicious, nutritious meals is evident in every dish he and his team make from scratch—including soups, sauces, and entrees prepared without even a bouillon cube.
Over 112 entrees, 56 soups, and 56 desserts are offered monthly, including chef’s daily specials and an à la carte menu featuring residents’ favourites. Special occasion menus and themed dinners are also featured, and unique dietary needs and preferences are always accommodated.
The daily breakfast buffet and a flexible dining experience allow residents to savour high-quality meals tailored to their preferences. The resident food council plays an active role in contributing ideas for menu development. Guests are encouraged to join their loved ones for meals, with a four-course dining experience available.
Amica Arbutus Manor’s staff go above and beyond, creating a warm and welcoming environment.
With a dedicated team of over 100 members— including licensed practical nurses, wellness coordinators, culinary staff, housekeepers, and life enrichment specialists—residents receive compassionate and attentive care. The residence thrives on the philosophy that staff and residents work together to create an exceptional environment.
Nicole and Andrea, key leadership team members, credit the strong community spirit for the Manor’s continued success. “Amica has exceptionally high standards,” Nicole shares. “They hire naturally compassionate people who help each other out. Everyone pitches in, and everyone is treated with dignity and respect.”
“Amica Arbutus Manor is very much in tune with Westside seniors,” says Andrea.
This culture of care has not gone unnoticed. In recent years, Amica Arbutus Manor received the Amica Exceptional Impact Award and was nominated for five additional accolades, recognizing the dedication of its staff and the thriving environment they have helped to cultivate.
Heartwarming stories are part of the Amica Arbutus Manor experience. This past Valentine’s Day brought an incredibly touching moment when two residents tied the knot. “It was an exciting occasion for our residence,” Nicole recalls. “The newlyweds never imagined they would find love again.”
Residents feel safe and at home, enjoying a fulfilling life in a secure, turn-key environment. Whether enjoying the gardens, engaging in social activities, or simply relaxing in the fireside lounge with a good book, a sense of belonging makes Amica Arbutus Manor a special place to live. As one resident enthusiastically declares, “It’s perfect here.”
For those considering a move, the team at Amica Arbutus Manor invites potential residents to experience the community firsthand. Arrange for a tour or even an overnight trial stay when availability allows to discover why so many people proudly call Amica Arbutus Manor home.

THE COLOUR MARKET:
Colour Focussed Home Decor and Goods
Story by Sarah Gordon Photos submitted
A little over a year ago, The Colour Market opened in Kerrisdale, taking over the former location of the dollar store on West 41st Avenue. This Benjamin Moore-owned store is the first of its kind, with a long-term vision of expanding to major cities across Canada.
Branded as Vancouver’s one-stop shop for home décor, stationery and gifts, it has become a destination for locals and tourists alike. Visitors are so impressed with the store that they often request The Colour Market in their hometowns.
The concept revolves around colour-focused, high-quality home decor and goods.
Store manager Cherry Jimenez shares, “Visitors are impressed by the store's transformation. Customers describe the
space as bright, cheerful, and enjoyable. Our team often notes that even when someone leaves without making a purchase, they still take a moment to express how stunning the store is. They engage in conversations about our products and their connection to colour, reinforcing that we’re on the right path and have created something special.”
The Colour Market has deep ties to the community. Cherry says, “The Kerrisdale area is familiar to us; we ran the Benjamin Moore store here for nearly 20 years before closing it during COVID. Many of us grew up in the area, went to school and reside in Kerrisdale.”
“It dawned on us, as colour experts, that we could offer customers a one-stop shop for all their decorating needs.”
“For over 20 years, we’ve owned and operated six Benjamin Moore paint and decorating stores. During that time, we saw an increasing demand for guidance in pairing wall paint colours with home decor and styling spaces with colour.”
"About three years ago, the team tested the concept with a Colour Market pop-up at their flagship Benjamin Moore location on West Broadway. The positive response led us down this path to the first stand-alone store in Kerrisdale."
“Our products are carefully sourced from Canada and other parts of the world such as Denmark, Japan, Portugal, Turkey, the United Kingdom and more. We also carry drinks and snacks with fun and colourful branding, which are a hit with the local schools and transit goers as a grab-and-go,” says Cherry.
Turkish-made Aykasa foldable storage crates come in over 20 different colours and three sizes. Pantone Lifestyle (Denmark) takes Pantone’s iconic colour palette onto stationery, drinkware and accessories.
Cherry mentions, “Some other popular lines include Dusen Dusen, OMY, Blume, Tache
Pistachio Milk, Pantone, Noshinku Sanitizers, Soap So Co., which is made in Alberta and NIMO, a Vancouver-based brand, just to name a few.”
“The Pantone Lifestyle collection from Denmark is a special line for us. Not only do we have the largest selection, but we are also the official Canadian distributor. This incredible opportunity comes through our partnership with Copenhagen Design, a Denmark-based company that designs the curated collection. Known for collaborating with iconic brands like Porsche, The Oscars, Manchester United, and Jägermeister, the Pantone Lifestyle Collection brings worldclass design and customization to life.”
A core lineup of products is available all year round, and new products are continuously introduced. All products are found on The Colour Market’s online store and sold in-store. When you purchase online, you can pick up in-store or take advantage of free delivery service within Vancouver, Richmond, and Coquitlam.
“We listen and actively ask customers what they are interested in seeing, and nine out of ten times, we end up carrying it.”
While the store sees many local customers who either work or live in the area, because it’s a flagship location, it’s a destination for many shoppers. In addition, they receive online orders from across Canada and the United States.
What makes The Colour Market unique?
Cherry comments, “Colours have the power to evoke emotions, and when customers choose an item, it’s either a shade that feels familiar and comforting or one that gently encourages
them to step beyond their comfort zone in subtle ways.”
She leads the store while also serving as the general manager for both the retail and distribution divisions. Cherry oversees seven locations—The Colour Market and six Hue & Hammer stores (previously Benjamin Moore Vancouver). Additionally, she represents Pantone Lifestyle across Canada for her organization.
She shares, “With a background in interior design, it’s rewarding to be in the shop, connecting with customers and sharing a mutual appreciation for colour.”
Cherry and her colleagues invite you to explore The Colour Market. "Our team brings the same warmth and vibrancy as the store itself, creating a welcoming and engaging customer experience."
