Whispering Winds

George Huddlestun

Wednesday, September 21 was a red ribbon day for the Whispering Winds Seniors complex in Pincher Creek. The official opening took place, celebrated with ribbon cutting and cake cutting. Officials were here from the Alberta Legislature, the Town of Pincher Creek, the Municipal District of Pincher Creek, Whispering Winds management and staff from B.C. as well as staff here. A large crowd was on hand to enjoy hot-dogs, salad and corn on the cob. The cake was delicious.

As a resident of the Whispering Winds Lodge I must say the facilities are of excellent quality and the feeling within the complex is warm and home-like, which I can relate to. As is with all new buildings there have been hiccups but management has responded quickly and efficiently. It is with pride that I say I live here.
In the coming weeks we will be implementing exercises that will be geared to all levels of residents which will fit nicely with the slow and fast walk that is going right now. The exercise room is there for everyone to use if they so desire. Pool games have been fun and challenging with sharp players going head to head.

Crib and other card games take place most evenings. Bingo has a large following and Saturday movies and popcorn in the theatre room round out some of the activities taking place throughout the month.

The family barbeque was well attended with lots of invited friends enjoying hamburgers with all the trimmings, including corn on the cob. A hearty thank-you to the cook and staff for all their hard work, it is greatly appreciated by all.
