Good times with friends, good deeds for charity.

Meet the Victoria Landing Knitting Circle.


Brandon, Manitoba is home to All Seniors Care's Victoria Landing Retirement Residence as well as a fantastic group of individuals who are putting their skills to work, for the betterment of the community.

Every Wednesday morning, between 8-10 ladies meet to share a cup of tea, lots smiles and plenty  of clothing. These ladies once a week throughout the entire year in order to prepare for an annual sale which they manage.

Sweaters, scarves, toques, mitts and more! The Knitting Circle sells their beautifully hand-made clothes and donates all the proceeds to the local Brandon Community Food Bank. Any clothing items that don't sell are put into hampers for the Salvation Army.

A rare gesture to donate brand new clothes to charity! This past October, they made a $1,356 contribution to the food bank thanks to a year of hard work.

We are very proud of the community spirit present at Victoria Landing and commend the Knitting Circle on the continued generosity of their weekly pastime.
