🃏✨ Friendly Crib Tournament ✨🃏 Bring your best ga 🃏✨ Friendly Crib Tournament ✨🃏

Bring your best game! This year, we invited our residents to join in on a friendly cribbage tournament and the response has been amazing 💛

Many residents shared that they love playing crib but just did not have anyone to play with. So in true Whole Way House spirit, we brought everyone together around the table. Laughter, connection, and a little friendly competition have filled the room ever since 😊♠️

The tournament is still going strong and it has been such a wonderful way for residents to meet new neighbours, spark new friendships, and enjoy a classic game of Cribbage. We have even seen some new faces join in who do not usually take part in programs, which makes it even more special 💫

Community, connection, and a deck of cards can go a long way 🃏💙
