Within the ELIM Community

At Elim Village there are plenty of amenities to take advantage of in your own back yard. Within the 25 acres there is not only housing but many features that everybody can enjoy.

The Oasis

The heart of the village’s social life springs from the Oasis. Elim’s 15,000 square foot amenity center. The 400-person capacity auditorium is the perfect venue for community events. From banquets that can comfortably accommodate over 200 people to the community’s annual garage sale, craft fair, health and wellness fair, ladies tea, concerts, monthly movie nights and so much more. The possibilities are endless.

The Palms Bistro cafe, a well equipped exercise room, the many meeting rooms and large terraces invite activity year-round. The large south east terrace with pergola and benches offers a lovely summer picnic spot. The Oasis also offers a guest suite for residents’ out of town guests who require a temporary stay.

Are you looking for a venue to host a special event? We have various spaces around the Village available to rent. Please contact the Operations Assistant at jmanaois@elimvillage.com or 604.583.3546 ext. 4045 for more information.

Elim Gardens

The grounds around Elim Village exude peacefulness. The open green spaces and beautiful gardens offer year-round opportunity to enjoy the surroundings. A scene of tranquility surrounds the Oasis. Across from the main entrance, a gurgling stream flows from an upper to lower pond. Large areas of grass with deciduous trees surround gardens with native plants. During all seasons, residents and neighbours stroll along the paths, enjoying the scenery.

Putting Green

This amenity was unveiled in the Summer of 2016. The lush, new Putting Green is located next to the patio of the Oasis.

Thank-you Facilities Team!

While the snow was coming down last week and everyone was huddled inside keeping warm our facilities team were outside in full force!

Everybody was encouraged to stay indoors and off the roads. Unfortunately, we know this is not feasible for everyone. Residents, staff, visitors, and first responders alike were grateful for our steadfast Elim Village facilities team!

They put in long hours over the snowy days keeping the pathways and roads as clear as possible for those who did brave the weather. By the end of each day they were all red in the face but still had a smile on!

Thank-you for everything you do for our Village

Resident of the Year

Every year the BC Senior Living Association asks for nominee’s for the L.E.A.P (Let’s embrace aging passionately) award. These nominees must be a resident of the BCSLA community and process a number of attributes. For 2019 we nominated assisted living resident Margaret. While she didn’t win the official award she was number one in our eyes and, therefore, deserved a celebration!

Prior to coming to Elim Village, Margaret eagerly served within her community. She explained “I always like to have something to do”. She used to volunteer with a group of women at charities and would share her cooking and baking with the less fortunate whenever she had an opportunity.

Margaret began her journey at Elim Village four years when she found herself next on the waitlist for a suite in “The Emerald at Elim Village”. She now had a decision to make, however, Margaret read something earlier that day that put her mind at ease. “Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs and seventy palm trees, and they camped there near the water” (exodus 15:27). Upon entering Elim for the first time, she read the same verse on of the walls in the facility. She accepted this as a sign that she was meant to take this next step in her life.

Margaret will be turning 94 this year and is still full of life. She grew up in a large family with eight other siblings and being the daughter of hard working parents, Margaret acquired many skills. Two of these skills include sewing and knitting which are also her two favourite pass times. She now uses her sewing skills to help fellow residents mend clothing.

You can find Margaret walking around the community listening to her radio or sitting on a bench with her knitting while enjoying the sunshine. She also attends every fitness activity in the Emerald and encourage other residents to be active with her.

Her positive, energetic and approachable attitude along with a willingness to help others around her truly displays Margaret’s giving heart. She actively cares for her fellow residents by reading to them, mending clothes, visiting those who feel lonely and encouraging them to live their lives to the fullest. Margaret wants to convey a message of love and fait and continuously demonstrates what it means to love your neighbour and as a result inspires everyone around her.

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

The first snowfall of the year has arrived and according to the forecast it’s not finished yet! We encourage everyone to drive safe and bundle up. If you can, stay home and enjoy the winter land from inside.

We thank our facilities team for working extra hard to ensure the roads and pathways within the village stay as clear as possible.
