January 1, 2025: Free parking and free Wi-Fi

New Parking Rates

  • Parking is free on Wednesday, January 1, 2025.
  • The new rates will take effect on Thursday, January 2, 2025.

As previously communicated, and with the endorsement of the multi-stakeholder Parking Panel, Perley Health has implemented a policy to adjust parking fees annually based on the cost of living, as determined by Statistics Canada. The changes to the parking rates for 2025 rates are based on the Statistics Canada inflation rate of 2% for October 2024. The parking system is a cashless system, so the 2% increase will be held but rounded up to the nearest nickel.

We continue our commitment to provide a seamless experience for those picking up and dropping off passengers. There will be no charge for vehicles on the property for 30 minutes or less. 

Parking Rates (as of Thursday, January 2, 2025)

  • 30 minutes or less: Free
  • Daily flat rate: $12.60
  • Monthly parking: $102.00*
  • 10-use: $68.35
  • 20-use: $126.20
  • 30-use: $173.50

*The Residential Tenancies Act applies when establishing monthly parking rates for Senior Living tenant vehicles. For details on the parking rates and parking plans for tenants, please contact the Senior Living office.

For all questions about parking, please contact Support Services.

This message was shared today with all email subscribers and excerpts will be posted to the Perley Parking webpage and on TVs in the common areas. 

Thank you for your continued support and cooperation. For questions and comments, please contact info@perleyhealth.ca.

We're thrilled to share our next feature with our community (and publicly on our various channels).

Meet @Mitch Haslam, Recreation Programmer, whose energy and personality consistently exude positivity and help elevate care for Seniors and Veterans. We can always count on Mitch's unwavering commitment to the people he serves.

Watch the posts on all the Perley Health social channels, or watch the video on the Perley Blog, (https://www.perleyhealth.ca/blog) , and see a special, non-scripted moment caught on camera during a Christmas Concert at Perley Health. It's one of those rare cases of being in the right place, at the right time, with a camera rolling to capture a very special person doing what they love and in a very fun way.

After less than a week since the release, it's the second best performing Perley video of all time!

Like Mitch, let's maintain the energy and positivity and help make it #1: https://www.perleyhealth.ca/mitch-haslam-2024

Winter Safety Tips

Winter conditions have arrived. We remind you to take extra care when outside.

Support Services Staff will continue to salting the grounds as the temperatures get colder. If you see an area that needs salt, please use the salt box bins located outside all entrances.

Walking to and from parking lots or between buildings at work during the winter requires special attention to avoid slipping and falling. Slips and falls are some of the most frequent types of injuries that IWIF (Injured Workers Insurance Fund) sees – especially during the winter months.

No matter how well the snow and ice is removed from parking lots or sidewalks, individuals will still encounter slippery surfaces when walking outdoors at this time. It is important for everyone to be constantly aware of these dangers and to learn to walk safely on ice and slippery surfaces.

IWIF recommends keeping these important safety tips in mind: 

  1. In cold temperatures, approach with caution and assume that all wet, dark areas on pavements are slippery and icy.
  2. During bad weather, avoid boots or shoes with smooth soles and heels. Instead, wear shoes or boots that provide traction on snow and ice; boots made of non-slip rubber or neoprene with grooved soles are best.
  3. Use special care when entering and exiting vehicles; use the vehicle for support.
  4. Walk in designated walkways as much as possible. Taking shortcuts over snow piles and other frozen areas can be hazardous. Look ahead when you walk; a snow- or ice-covered sidewalk or driveway, especially if on a hill, may require travel along its grassy edge for traction.
  5. Do the Penguin Shuffle -- Point your feet out slightly like a penguin! Spreading your feet out slightly while walking on ice increases your centre of gravity.
  6. Bend slightly and walk flat-footed with your centre of gravity directly over the feet as much as possible.
  7. Extend your arms out to your sides to maintain balance.
  8. Keep your hands out of your pockets. Hands in your pockets while walking decreases your centre of gravity and balance. You can help break your fall with your hands free if you do start to slip.
  9. Watch where you are stepping and ... GO S-L-0-W-L-Y !!
  10. Take short steps or shuffle for stability.
  11. Wear a heavy, bulky coat that will cushion you if you should fall.
  12. Try to avoid landing on your knees, wrists, or spine. Try to fall on a fleshy part of your body, such as your side.
  13. Try to relax your muscles if you fall. You'll injure yourself less if you are relaxed.
