Re: Renovations to the Terrace West Entrance and Bistro Area

---

We are starting a renovation project for the Terrace West entrance lobby and bistro area on Thursday, March 7^th. We are anticipating completing the project by Thursday, March 28^th.

The summary of the project and timeline are below. Please note that the timeline may require some flexibility.

The following are direct impacts to our staff, residents, and visitors:

Thursday, March 7:     No access to TW laundry room for this day only

Thursday, March 7, evening and overnight:  Elevator and front entrance is emergency use only (available again after 5:00am on Friday morning)

Friday, March 8, evening and overnight:       New lobby flooring installed (front door and elevator are able to be used during this time)

The coffee and juice machine will be unavailable during this project.

The fridge for saved lunches will temporarily be in the hallway near the hair salon.

Recreation staff can continue to be reached by phone 604-851-7394 while access to their current office is unavailable.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation during this project. Stay safe.

Here is a summary of the projects and timelines:

• Wednesday, March 6^th, 8:00am: Terrace West bistro area will be emptied of all furniture and contents.
• Thursday, March 7^th, 8:00am: no access to laundry room for this day only
• Thursday, March 7^th, 5:30pm – Friday, March 8^th, 5:00am: Replacement of tiles in the front entrance and Terrace West elevator. The front entrance and elevator are available for emergency use only. The doorway at the west end of the hallway is available to use; your front entrance key opens that side door as well.
• Friday, March 8^th, 5:00pm – Saturday, March 9^th, 5:00am: New flooring installed in Terrace West entrance; residents and visitors can use the entrance and elevator during this time.
• March 11^th – 28^th: The bistro area will be sealed off with a temporary plastic wall while the bistro is renovated (there will be upgrades to the flooring, lights and cabinets).

Please be advised there could be some winter weather Tuesday night into Wednesday morning (Feb 27-28). Please be prepared and wear proper footwear.

4:56 AM PST Monday 26 February 2024

A wintry mix of precipitation is expected.

Where: Metro Vancouver, Fraser Valley, Howe Sound, Whistler and the Sea to Sky Highway.

When: Tuesday evening through Wednesday, potentially impacting the Tuesday evening commute.

A weather system brings a wintry mix of precipitation to the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley and Howe Sound-Whistler late Tuesday evening through Wednesday. For most regions except Whistler and the Sea to Sky Highway, snow levels will be hovering near the surface, and precipitation will start as rain mixed with snow Tuesday evening. Snowfall accumulations are expected to vary greatly with elevation and proximity to the water. With a warming southwesterly flow aloft, snow levels will rise overnight resulting in mixed precipitation changing to moderate to heavy rain late Tuesday night or early Wednesday. During this transition, there is also a risk of freezing rain over the Fraser Valley as warm air overrides the cold air in the valley.

Re: Payroll Reporting – T4s

---

T4 slips for 2023 have been emailed to the address on file for distribution of payroll pay slips for Menno Place employees.

The initial attempt to email T4 slips for Menno Home and Menno Hospital in the early afternoon of Friday February 23^rd was aborted by the software, the second attempt to email T4 slips in the evening of Friday February 23^rd was successful, consequently some Menno Home and Menno Hospital employees may have received duplicate T4 slips.

Please be aware that Menno Place staff will receive separate T4 slips for remuneration from each company they are employed (Home, Hospital, Apartments and MBS); as well, under each separate company one T4 is issued for casual employment and one T4 is issued for regular employment.  The employer’s name includes “Qualified” for regular employment and “Unqualified” for casual employment.

MPP pension adjustment (PA) statements will be mailed today for those employees who have not yet opted for distributed electronically directly from MPP.

We would also like to take this opportunity to remind all employees of the importance of informing us of any changes, such as, address, telephone, marital status, and personal tax credit eligibility (TD1 information).

Go to www.MennoPlaceStaff.com/update-contact to update your contact information.

 

Kind regards,

Marie Ponting, PCP
Payroll Coordinator
