On July 22, 2025, the Golden Maple Chinese Seniors Association successfully hosted the “Beautiful Scenery, Delicious Food, Health and Happiness” gathering at R.K. McMillan Park in Mississauga. The event attracted more than a hundred seniors, family members, and health professionals. It combined health education, cultural performances, and community interaction, creating a warm, joyful, and vibrant atmosphere.
We extend our gratitude to the Canadian Registered Dietitians Association for their generous sponsorship and for providing seniors with scientific dietary and nutritional strategies to promote healthy aging. This initiative also supports Golden Maple’s ongoing “Food–Nutrition–Cooking–Health” program, carried out with the support of the City of Mississauga.
Two Community Development and Recreation Coordinators from the City of Mississauga, along with two Community Relations Directors from AMICA Senior Living, were invited guests. They delivered enthusiastic remarks praising Golden Maple for organizing events that enrich seniors’ lives and promote both their physical and mental well-being.
