今年，我们家和美长者协会再次受 Mississauga Valley 社区中心邀请，参加他们一年一度的圣诞节聚餐活动。能够连续多年获邀，是社区与市政府对我们工作的肯定，也是对我们长者团队的支持与鼓励。

在温暖的灯光与节日装饰中，不同国家、不同文化背景的长者们围坐在一起，共享美食、交流笑声，感受节日带来的温馨与喜悦。对于大家来说，这不仅是一场聚餐，更是一份来自社区的关怀——在寒冷的冬季里，让心更加贴近，让彼此更加连结。

家和美长者协会也会继续努力，为社区长者带来更多健康、有活力、充满温情的活动。

🎄 Jiahemay Seniors Association Invited to the Mississauga Valley Christmas Community Dinner

This year, the Jiahemay Seniors Association was once again invited by the Mississauga Valley Community Center to attend its annual Christmas community dinner. Being invited year after year is not only a recognition of our work from the community and the city government, but also a gesture of support and encouragement for our seniors’ group.

Amid warm lighting and festive decorations, seniors from different countries and cultural backgrounds gathered to share delicious food, exchange laughter, and enjoy the warmth and joy of the holiday season. For everyone, this was more than just a dinner—it was a heartfelt expression of care from the community, bringing people closer together during the cold winter months.

The Jiahemay Seniors Association will continue to strive to bring more healthy, energetic, and heartwarming activities to seniors in our community.

[Silverthorn Care Community Performance Brief]

On 由Jiahemay senior association撰寫In 走秀、太极、广场舞、民族舞、主要、乐队發表留言


On August 27, 2025, the Jiahemay Senior Association held a successful cultural performance at Silverthorn Care Community. The performers ranged in age from teenagers to seniors over 80, showcasing intergenerational participation and cultural heritage.

The audience at the care home was fully engaged, nodding, applauding, smiling, and even interacting with the performers. This marked the association’s third visit to the facility, and they have been invited again to bring more joy and care during the Lunar New Year.

The smooth execution of the performance was made possible by the hard work behind the scenes. The president personally assisted members with transportation and prepared the sound system; the vice president coordinated overall arrangements and ensured food and refreshments; team leaders guided rehearsals and assisted with costumes; the photographer captured precious moments; the host professionally led the event; and volunteers quietly supported transportation, logistics, and the venue. Everyone played their part, ensuring a successful performance.

This event not only brought warmth and joy to the residents but also demonstrated the Chinese community’s active engagement in society and promotion of multicultural exchange, highlighting the unique value of seniors and youth participating together in community activities.

[Silverthorn Care Community 演出简报】

2025年8月27日，家和美长者联谊会在 Silverthorn Care Community 举办了一场成功的文艺演出。此次演出队伍涵盖了不同年龄层，从十几岁的青少年到年逾八十的长者同台亮相，充分体现了代际融合与文化传承。

老人院的观众们全程投入，频频点头、鼓掌、微笑，甚至与演员们一同互动，现场气氛热烈。这已是协会第三次受邀到该院演出，并再次收到邀请在春节回访，为院友们带来更多欢乐与关怀。

演出的顺利进行，离不开团队背后的辛勤付出。会长亲自接送交通不便的会员，并提前准备音响设备；副会长统筹整体安排，负责饮食保障；组长们带领大家反复排练、协助修改演出服装；摄影师用镜头留下珍贵瞬间，主持人以专业串联引领全场；义工们在交通、后勤、场地等各方面默默支持。大家各司其职，齐心协力，才确保了演出的圆满成功。

这场演出不仅为养老院居民送去温暖和欢乐，更展示了华人社区积极参与社会、推动多元文化交流的实际行动，也凸显了长者与青少年共同参与社区活动的独特价值。

The performance videos have been uploaded. Welcome to watch!

On June 20th, the Jiahemay Senior Association organized over 100 members to participate in the City of Mississauga’s summer outdoor kickoff event at Mississauga Valley Park. The event drew approximately 800 attendees and was filled with vibrant energy.

The festivities began with our band performing well-known classics like Jingle Bells, creating a cheerful and lively atmosphere for everyone.

For the official program, Jiahemay had the honor of opening the event. Accompanied by our live band, our dance and Tai Chi teams joined members in a heartfelt group performance of the Canadian national anthem—an emotional and respectful moment. This was followed by a powerful and synchronized Tai Chi demonstration that received enthusiastic applause from the audience.

Our members also actively joined in interactive activities throughout the day, including circle dancing, line dancing, square dancing, and yoga, showcasing their vitality and passion. The park was filled with laughter and joy.

Our performance was so well-received that four different cultural groups invited us on the spot to participate in their upcoming events—further affirming Jiahemay Senior Association’s growing influence in promoting multicultural exchange.

Jiahemay will continue to serve seniors through cultural and wellness activities, spreading warmth and building a harmonious community together.

In the past March, our community activities were in full swing! The choir and the band used notes to connect laughter and joy; in the rehearsal of the Multicultural Festival, everyone used dance and music to weave a cultural bridge; the members of the dance team and the waist drum team were fully committed, and every movement was full of power; Tai Chi enthusiasts started a beautiful day with morning exercises, and chess friends enjoyed their skills on the chessboard.

Weekly gatherings are not only rehearsals and exercises, but also the transmission of friendship and warmth. Thank you to every participant for your enthusiasm, making our community as warm as home! Looking forward to continuing to work together in April to create more excitement!

On the last day of February, the Jiahemay Senior Association was very lively! Tai Chi students had gathered in the hall before nine o’clock. More than 50 people punched and lowered their shoulders, and the shadows of their punches were full of wind, and the charm was long.

The dance room was also in full swing. Four men joined the dance team and danced seriously. The music added more vitality to everyone!

Three hours passed in a flash. We danced to our heart’s content and laughed heartily. The most beautiful time is spent in laughter and joy.

🎥Wonderful moments
