Effective Immediately: Staff Required to Wear Masks
On January 7, 2025, the BC Ministry of Health put out a new policy to help prevent and control the spread of viral respiratory illnesses.
Effective immediately, it is mandatory for all staff (clinical AND non-clinical) to wear a medical mask in resident care spaces and places where residents gather. Masks must be worn over nose and mouth. Healthcare workers who have direct contact with residents (such as: care staff, chaplains, LEAs, dietary, housekeeping and maintenance staff) must wear a mask in all areas, except while eating and drinking. This policy is in effect across the entire Menno Place campus.
Mask Wearing for Visitors
Visitors are welcome in all buildings on the campus. They are asked to refrain from visiting if they are sick. Visitors should sanitize their hands and wear a mask in common areas for resident and staff safety.
Thank you all for your commitment to our residents and their safety.
