Movember is a movement that began approximately a decade ago here in Canada and was created by a small group of male friends sitting in a pub in Australia . These fellas wanted to raise more awareness surrounding men’s health, more specifically, prostate cancer. The phenomenon caught on across the world and it is now the most celebrated men’s health awareness campaign to date.

During the month of November, V!VA Barrhaven will be doing their part to raise awareness for men’s

Harvest Week CelebrationsCommunity Members enjoyed a week full of Fall Fun activities last month at V!VA Barrhaven. Highlights from the week included baking pumpkin seeds with Tania, yummy homemade harvest squash soup with Shannon, pumpkin spice lattes with Tricia in the pub, and a fall leaf bus tour along the Ottawa River and Gatineau Hills .

Surviving the Tornado V!VA Barrhaven managed to avoid damage, after the weekend the tornado hit the Ottawa area in September. Community Members were kept safe in the comfort of our Community. Regardless of not having power for 48 hours, Team Members managed the situation very well thanks to their great effort and hard work.

A great BIG thank you to all Team Members who came in to help on their days off, to ensure everything was running as smoothly as possible and for being kind and caring during the crisis. Another big thank you goes out to our Community Members for remaining patient and understanding as we waited for Hydro One, who was working around the clock to –restore power to the thousands and thousands of people throughout area affected.

health by hosting Movember activities throughout the whole month. Join us on November 1st to kick off our Movember Men’s Health Movement by wearing the color purple, the official color for prostate cancer. Our male Community Members are encouraged to grow a moustache or beard during the month of November to show your support.

Team Members, Community Members and guests can purchase a purple ribbon from the concierge to show their support and help raise money towards prostate research.

Keeping it safe and sound.

November Movember Movement: Raising Awareness for Men’s Health

5 Interesting Facts About

PPIESThe poppy began to spread in Europe after the soils in France and Belgium had large amounts of lime left over from the rubble during the First World War. This also caused the flowers to grow around the grave sites of the war dead.

Not all poppies are red. They also come in yellow, orange, and other colours.

According to Greek mythology, poppies were used on tombstones to symbolize the blood for fallen soldiers on the battlefields of war.

During World War One, the destruction actually stopped poppies from growing for four full seasons. After the war was over the poppy began to bloom again. According to reports this historical growth was spectacular, with 2,500 poppy seeds per square foot found.

The Poppy Campaign in Canada was inspired by Canadian Colonel John McCrae’s famous poem In Flanders Fields and by American Moina Michael who pledged a year prior to wear a poppy as a symbol of the fallen.
