All staff who could come in close contact with a resident on precautions should be fit tested for a respirator. This will mainly be direct care staff but can also include maintenance, dietary and housekeeping staff. It’s best if everyone who works on the units gets tested in case a situation arises where respirators are needed.

There are two fit testing sessions scheduled. Please note that the two sessions are taking place in two different locations.

The first session is taking place Thursday March 19, 2026, in the Hospital Chapel at the following times:

• 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
• 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM

The second session will be Friday March 20, 2026, in the Menno Home Chapel at the following times:

• 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
• 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM

Walk-ins are welcome on both days, depending on the traffic, but please note that you may have to wait if there are too many people.

Important:

• The Fit Test takes approximately 20–25 minutes, so please allow enough time for your session. The test cannot be rushed.
• Do not eat or drink anything for 15 minutes prior to your Fit Test.
• We can accommodate up to six staff members in each half hour time slot.

Your 2025 T4 slips were emailed at the end of February to the same address on file for your payroll pay notification.

Please note the following:

• If you don’t see your T4 in your email, check your junk folder.
• If you did not receive a T4 or have questions about your T4 please check with your direct manager. Do not contact finance office staff without instructions from your manager.
• If you worked for multiple locations (Home, Hospital, Apartments, or MBS), you will receive separate T4 slips for each location.
•  If you worked in a regular line or casually, you will receive separate T4 slips for both regular and casual work.

Important Reminder: The password to open your T4 slip is the same as the password used to access your payroll pay notifications.

Thank you for your work in providing excellent resident and family-centred care as Menno Place.

March gives us a wonderful opportunity to recognize two teams whose work makes a meaningful difference in the lives of our residents, families, and colleagues — our Social Work and Dining Services teams.

This year’s Social Work Month theme, “Social Work: Uplift. Defend. Transform.” reflects the important role our Social Workers play every day at Menno Place.

Through compassion, advocacy, and insight, they support residents and families during significant life transitions, help navigate complex situations, and strengthen connections across our community. Their dedication truly uplifts those around them, defends the needs and dignity of residents, and helps transform experiences of care for families and staff alike.

March is also Nutrition Month, with the theme “Nourish to Flourish.” This makes it the perfect time to celebrate our Dining Team, whose work ensures residents receive nutritious, enjoyable meals that support their health, well-being, and overall quality of life. By thoughtfully preparing meals and supporting nutrition needs, they help residents truly nourish to flourish each day. Their contribution also extends to supporting staff wellness, this month they are sharing practical tips to help employees working rotating and night shifts stay healthy and energized despite changing biological clocks.

To mark the occasion, we will be creating an Appreciation Wall where staff can leave notes of gratitude and recognition for members of both teams. We encourage everyone to take a moment to share a message and celebrate the dedication, compassion, and teamwork these groups bring to our community every day.

Please join us in thanking our Social Work and Dining teams for the care, commitment, and impact they bring to Menno Place.
