Friday, November 10, 2000 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER 13 H is to ry o f Us a va ila b le a t re tire m e n t residences Recognizing that Canadian seniors hold a wealth of fascinating memories that often go undocumented, Lifestyle Retirement Communities launched a new booklet entitled, The History of Us." The booklet provides a step-bystep instruction on how to document family history by creating a heritage album that can be passed down to future generations. "At our retirement residences across Canada, we've had the pleasure of hearing stories about the interesting lives of many of our residents," says Heather Green, Lifestyle Retirement Communities' vice-president of mar keting. "Sadly, many o f these stories are never recorded and, with each new generation, the fam ily history can become more o f a mystery. With this new booklet, we want to help seniors create a permanent history of their lives." "The History of Us" is a unique how-to booklet that provides instruc tion on how to create a family heritage album. In it, Lifestyle Retirem ent Com m unities provides the details required to create an album, along with tips on how to gather materials, letters and mementos; labelling and dating photos; choosing a heritage album theme, and how to create question naires and conduct interviews with family members. "C reating heritage album s has become a very popular pastime across Canada," says Green. "Many people are discovering that heritage albums are a terrific way to organize and illus trate all the key events o f their lives, and the end result is a creative, very personal family heirloom that can be treasured by future generations." "By offering this heritage album booklet, we hope it will give seniors the inspiration to look back at their lives and begin telling their own unique stories through journaling, fami ly photos, documents, letters and mementos that can be dis played in their album," she adds. To obtain The History of Us booklet, simply visit Churchill Place Retirement Residence at 345 Church Street in Oakville, or The Kensington Retirement Residence at 25 Lakeshore Road West in Oakville. Complimentary copies are available to the first 200 people to tour either Churchill Place or The Kensington.
