Happy Mother’s day from all of us at Menno Place!

There are so many women who can act as mother figures in our lives – from our actual mothers, to step-moms, grandmothers, great grandmothers, god-mothers, aunties, close friends, friends’ mothers, mothers-in-law, neighbours, sister-in-laws and many, many more!

Today we celebrate all the women who have made positive impacts on our lives through the love and support they give.

Whether you are spending time with loved ones or reflecting on the memories of those who are no longer with us, we hope that you have a blissful day. We’re so thankful for you, moms!

NAOSH: Relationships are part of health

/in , , ,

Mother’s Day is coming up this weekend. It’s a great reminder that health includes strong relationships with family, loved ones, residents, and co-workers.

Today’s safety focus is simple:

  • Be kind
  • Be patient
  • Help each other
  • Say thank you
  • Notice who might need support

A strong team is a safer team.

Share a thank you message with a co-worker, it can be on a post it note or a piece of paper, make someone’s day with a kind message. Remember to take a picture and send it to pandccares@mennoplace.ca

Just a reminder: All submissions from the week will be entered into a draw and the winning team will receive some treats for a coffee break.
