Embracing Diversity: A Welcoming Community

At Accora Village, we celebrate the rich tapestry of cultures that make up our community by organizing various events designed to engage all age groups. 

Seniors

For our senior residents, we offer activities that encourage social interaction and mental stimulation. Our senior lunches are a popular event designed to be both accessible and enjoyable, thus ensuring our older community members remain vibrant and feel connected and integral to our social fabric.

Youth

Children in our community benefit from educational and fun programs that promote learning and friendship. Our events for kids include multicultural arts and crafts, storytelling sessions, and sports activities that not only entertain but also educate them about the world’s diverse cultures.

Families

Family-oriented events create ample opportunities for bonding and enjoyment. While we plan seasonal activities to celebrate the beauty of the world around us, residents can always count on our annual ‘Light Up The Village’ Winter holiday event, promoting community engagement in the coldest Canadian months.

By integrating these events, Accora Village enhances the individual experiences of our residents living in international housing and strengthens the communal bonds within the greater Ottawa area. We aim to ensure that everyone, regardless of age or background, feels welcome and valued, reinforcing our vision of a truly inclusive community.

Recreation Centre

Accora Village is proud to provide excellent housing options alongside a range of on-site amenities that significantly enhance the lifestyle of our residents. These facilities include well-equipped gyms and fitness centers, as well as indoor and outdoor swimming pools. 

These amenities are not just about physical fitness; they also serve as vibrant social hubs. We host various classes and events designed to cater to different interests and fitness levels. Whether you’re looking to join a high-energy aerobics class, relax with gentle yoga, or learn to swim, there’s something here for everyone.

Community Building

The recreation centers at Accora Village are particularly valuable for building community ties. They offer a natural setting for our residents to meet and connect over shared interests. From fitness enthusiasts to beginners or those just interested in taking up a hobby, the Accora Centre provides a platform to engage with fellow residents.

Convenience

The convenience of having these amenities close to our apartments and townhomes is a significant plus. It means that getting involved is as simple as stepping out of your front door. We believe this accessibility encourages a more active and socially engaged lifestyle, which can lead to improved well-being and happiness. Our residents can easily drop into a class after work, join a weekend event, or even start a new group activity, knowing that these facilities are just around the corner.

Dedicated ESL Teachers

We offer ESL classes for all ages to help new residents integrate into the community. In addition, many schools in the area also have dedicated ESL and FSL teachers, allowing young people to learn a new language with their peers. 

Learning English can help new residents feel confident interacting with their neighbours and other community members. It can also support them to engage with public events and access public services, many of which are only offered in one of Canada’s two official languages. 

The classroom can also be a great place to make connections with others who are encountering similar experiences, allowing you to get direct support from people who understand your situation.
