For Activity & Executive Directors

Creative programming that residents look forward to — and your team can rely on.

Viva Makers partners with retirement residences across Toronto and the GTA to deliver recurring creative workshops designed for older adults. Warm, inclusive, beautifully prepared, and easy to schedule.

Why teams choose Viva Makers

A creative partner you can build a program around.

Easy programming

Fully planned sessions arrive ready. Aviva brings supplies, materials, and the warmth — your team focuses on residents, not logistics.

Resident engagement

Sessions are designed to draw participants in — including residents who 'don't do crafts'. Conversation, laughter, and quiet pride are part of every visit.

Inclusive by design

Projects adapt in the moment for a range of abilities, including limited mobility, vision changes, and cognitive differences. Everyone finishes something they're proud of.

Professional facilitation

Led by a former art teacher and experienced creative facilitator. Insured, punctual, and prepared — the kind of partner you can build a recurring program around.
