It is with mixed emotions that we announce Jessy will be leaving Menno Place, with her last day as December 31st. We would like to take a moment to sincerely thank her for her incredible contributions since joining us in January 2021.

Over the past four years, Jessy has grown from a recruiter into our Manager of People & Culture, leading with integrity, empathy, and a deep commitment to supporting both staff and leaders. She played a key role in strengthening our People & Culture function, advancing health and safety practices, supporting labour relations, and helping guide the organization through periods of change and transition.

Jessy is widely known for her approachability, professionalism, and genuine care for people. She has been a trusted advisor, added a calm presence in complex situations, and has been a strong advocate for both staff and organizational excellence. Her impact has been felt across departments and at every level of the organization.

We are grateful for the dedication, heart, and leadership Jessy has brought to Menno Place. While we will miss her greatly, we are excited for what lies ahead in her career and wish her every success in her next chapter.

Please join us in thanking Jessy and wishing her all the very best.

Dear Team,

As we enter this joyous season of Christmas, we pause to celebrate the gift of Jesus Christ, whose birth continues to bring hope, peace, love, and joy into our lives and into the world. This season is a reminder of the light and grace that guides us. It is reflected in the extraordinary care and compassion you bring to Menno Place every day.

Your dedication, kindness, and unwavering commitment have touched the lives of our residents and their families in ways that words can scarcely capture. Through your actions, prayers, and presence, you reflect the love and hope that Christmas represents.

As we look back on the past year, we are filled with gratitude—for God’s faithfulness, for the growth and resilience of our Menno Place community, and most of all, for each of you. Your passion, care, and devotion are a true blessing to our residents and to one another.

During this Christmas season, we hope you find moments of rest, joy, and reflection, surrounded by the love of family, friends, and the peace of Christ. May the New Year bring renewed hope, abundant blessings, and continued opportunities to shine His light in the lives of those we serve.

On behalf of the Board, leadership, and the entire Menno Place community, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year filled with hope, joy, and God’s peace.

Sujata Connors, CEO & Carol Dyck, MBS Board Chair

Don’t forget that the elves are up to some activities this month. Have you spotted them yet?
