Aster Gardens Newsletter December 2020
Season's Greetings!
From Community Leasing Coordinator Linda Portsmouth
If you’ve had a chance to drive by Aster Gardens recently, you will notice an abundance of progress! Even today, with cold temperatures and snow falling, the crew is working hard finishing up the exterior of the building and even more so inside. We are on the homestretch, and before you know it Aster Gardens will be home to some amazing people! We are hosting a few events leading up to the Christmas holiday, including FUN festive activities! Be sure to watch for them on our events page.
Come visit us in our show suites! They are safe spaces, and I enjoy meeting each and every one of the tours that come through! Call or email me to book your appointment. We will be open select times (by appointment only) during the holidays.
We are nearing the end of a year that none of us will forget. As you navigate through this new type of normal during Christmas, hold on to the hope that we will join with friends and family soon. If you or anyone you know needs some comfort during this time please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
As Dr. Bonnie Henry says, "Be kind, be calm, and be safe."

The Development
Construction is progressing well!
Paving is completed and the sidewalks poured! The sidewalk now encircles our community.
Glass is in for the patio, heat is on inside the building, and ceiling tiles are going in!
Inside, the community is coming together. Final coats of paint, ceilings, and light fixtures are all going up. It won’t be long before you see the hallway leading to the show suites sparkling!
Flu Shots
Flu season is here. This year, COVID-19 is making it all the more important to ensure we stay healthy. Don't forget to get your flu shot so we can stop the spread before it begins. Go to immunizealberta.ca for more info.
