Recreational Partners
The Rekai Centres have been working hard in the community to foster and build our recreational partnerships. As our mission statement states, we want to “Enrich the lives of our residents by transforming the model of long term care and ensuring they are part of the pulse of the downtown community.”
Our Recreational Partnerships assist us realizing this goal. To date, we work alongside:
MidToronto Community Services.
MidToronto Community Services works with seniors and adults facing a multitude of issues include Alzheimer’s, cancer, heart disease, HIV/AIDS. Clients of MidToronto come to The Rekai Centre at Wellesley Central Place each month to participate in “Super Bingo”. This provides an opportunity for the residents to mingle with individuals from the community and make new friends.
