At Clover Living we love celebrating a variety of holidays, both in Eastern and Western cultures. Lunar New Year is certainly one of our biggest and most important holidays! 2024 marks the Year of the Dragon, which symbolizes power, nobility, luck and success. People born in the dragon years are observed to have natural courage, tenacity and intelligence.
We always have many festivities planned for our residents and the community to celebrate, and we make sure everyone is included! From enjoying traditional holiday meals, to arts & crafts, to playing mahjong, to special performances, and even having Caishen (the Chinese God of Prosperity) visit each resident, Lunar New Year is an eventful time at Clover Living! New Year is also a great time for our residents to clean and refresh their suites, as they welcome good fortune into their home to start the year off right!
Calgary’s Chinatown is also filled with many events during, including the Calgary Chinese Cultural Festival, where they will be hosting a variety of festivities on February 10th and 11th, including lion and dragon dances, martial arts exhibitions, a market, and much more!

However you and your family celebrate Lunar New Year, we wish you happiness, good health, and good fortune in 2024!
