Our SUITES.
Because you deserve the suite life.
Beautiful. Spacious. Convenient. Safe.
Wall to wall, our suites have been thoroughly updated to be bright, spacious, welcoming and comfortable. When we design our suites, we take out time to think about what is most important to our Community Members. For example, our renovated kitchenettes feature full-size refrigerators instead of bar-fridge models, because we know that sometimes you just want to prepare a treat for your family, and our bathrooms feature a walk-in shower with built-in seat and safety bars for easier bathing.
All suites include the following:
Seasonal personal control of heating and air conditioning
Kitchenette with full size refrigerator and microwave
Private bathroom featuring walk-in shower with a built-in seat & safety bars
Large windows with window treatments included
Emergency call button system
Neutral suite finishes allowing your personal style to shine.
When you're eating well you're living well... and living well is what we're all about.
Our healthy menu options offer you delicious and nutritious homestyle meals made with fresh wholesome ingredients and mouthwatering flavour. Everything made in our kitchen is V!VAlicious, which means equal parts nutritious and delicious. Plus, we get to use all the fresh and organic fruits, vegetables, and herbs grown in our very own V!VA Victory Garden.
