December 2018 Your V!VA Community Newsletter
On November 9th, our Community honoured the courage and devotion of those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country, to give thanks to veterans, and those who continue to serve our country today. A special ceremony was held in the V!VAplex. It was a special time of significant meaning for our Community as we sang together, remembered, reflected, and learned the importance of living with remembrance every day. We would not have the freedom we know in Canada today if it wasn’t for the brave men and women who have fought for us; several of whom we are honoured to know at V!VA Mississauga. Once more, on behalf of V!VA Mississauga, thank you for your service and sacrifice.
V!VA Mississauga Remembers
Remembrance Day ceremony.
Standing with the wreath.
“Mum” is the Word!On a cool, grey day, we stepped off the V!VA bus and into the 98th Annual Mum Show in Hamilton’s Gage Park for a colourful display of over 200 varieties of Chrysanthemums, and more than 75,000 blooms designed in shapes of well-known games, and toys. The theme of this year’s show, “Toy Land”, brought back memories and family traditions as toys from all decades were displayed throughout the greenhouse.
Elora Gorge-ous View for LunchCommunity Members enjoyed a scenic trip to Elora, known for its 19th century architecture and the Elora Gorge. Community Members enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Elora Mill restaurant, highlighted by the best view of the Gorge.
Suffleboard Mania!Shuffleboard is back, and shufflier than ever! In October, we kicked off our Shuffleboard Round Robin Tournament. Taking place over six weeks, teams of Community Members faced each other in friendly competition for the title of Shuffleboard Champion. We are looking forward to the Final Christmas Bonspiel on December 13th and 14th. Don’t worry if you can’t make it: a new tournament will be starting again in the New Year!
Smiling with the Mums.
Celebrating a Birthday.

FUN FACTSABOUT THE NUTCRACKER
The Nutcracker was written in 1816 by German author E.T.A. Hoffman.
The original story title is The Nutcracker and the Mouse, and is about a young girl’s journey to a magical land on Christmas Eve.
In 1892, Russian composer Tchaikovsky and choreographers
turned the story into a ballet called The Nutcracker.
Tchaikovsky died less than a year after The Nutcracker’s premiere and although it was considered a failure by the public and critics, it soon became a huge international success!
Get MAZED!If you were stuck in a snow maze in the bitter cold, how quickly could you make it out to that warm fireplace? Put your cognitive skills to the test and get mazed!
