Hamilton property developer Zest Communities aims to give active retirement plans a new meaning with a theme park specifically built for Seniors. The idea originates from the president of the company Tony DiFruscio who is "a confessed Disney-holic." The project will be an upgrade to an already existing retirement facility -- St. Elizabeth Village. Zest Communities will ensure that the activities will stimulate Seniors as they have proven to be more active than their parents. From gold and yoga to picketball, wining and dining, the active retirement plan will prove to be engaging and fun for the older community.
With a message of "Once you're over the hill, you start to pick up speed" and the cheeky imagery of a silver-head woman on a Vespa, St. Elizabeth Village will definitely become a must-go place for those seeking an active retirement plan.
