About Trinity Village

Trinity Village is a supportive and caring inclusive community, situated on 11 plus acres. We would like to acknowledge that we are on the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee, Anishnaabeg, and Neutral Peoples. Trinity Village is situated on the Haldimand Tract, land promised to the Six Nations, which includes six miles on each side of the Grand River.

Trinity Village is a not-for-profit organization owned by Lutheran Homes Kitchener-Waterloo consisting of 150 bed long term care centre, 74 supportive-living studios, 60 independent-living town homes, and a 90 space Adult Day Program. Our award winning village design consists of community gardens, greenhouse, bee hives, putting green, walk and roll paths, shady retreats, and a pond-less waterfall for nature therapy opportunities - making it a good place to visit, work, and live.
