Menno Place at the Vancouver Sun Run
When we move together with purpose and care, we strengthen both ourselves and our community.
Happy Administrative Professionals’ Day!
April 22 is Administrative Professionals’ Day and we want to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to our Executive Assistant Nicole Wiebe and our unit clerks for Menno Home and Menno Hospital: Am Purewal, Anna Hannemann, Aveneet Malhi, Hedy Somes, Judy Booth, Mandeep Kaur, Nilofar Rezaie, Shayla Litwin, Teresa Halovich and Vinitia Hingu.
Thank you for the ways you lead, the ways you support, and all the work you do managing complex and often sensitive information. Resident and family-centred care is all in the details and so many of those details are in your hands. Thank you.
Thank You Volunteers!
Ignite Volunteerism is a year‑long, international initiative that celebrates the power of civic participation and the meaningful impact volunteers have in our community. In recognition of National Volunteer Week, April 19–25, 2026, we proudly celebrate the generosity of our volunteers who dedicate their time, skills, and energy to serving the residents of Menno Place.
Our 150 volunteers support our recreation, rehabilitation, and pastoral care programs, and their commitment enriches lives every day. We extend our heartfelt thanks to each and every volunteer for their dedication, compassion, and unwavering service.
“I’m so thankful for our volunteers, whose heart and compassion are evident every time they engage with and support our residents. I’m always inspired by their commitment and care for our community” – Audrey Mazzei, Volunteer Coordinator

Help Us Keep Our Space Scent-Safe
At Menno Place, we are committed to creating a comfortable and healthy environment for everyone. As part of this commitment, we maintain a scent-safe workplace to support individuals who may experience sensitivities or allergies to fragrances.
We kindly ask all employees, visitors, and volunteers to:
- Avoid wearing perfumes, colognes, or aftershaves
- Refrain from using heavily scented lotions, hair products, or deodorants
- Limit the use of scented items such as candles or air fresheners
Even mild scents can affect others, and your cooperation helps ensure a safe and inclusive space for all. This aligns with our Dress Code Policy and commitment to scent safety in the workplace.
Thank you for your understanding and support in keeping our community healthy and welcoming.
