The contest is running from December 1st to 15th. Have you decorated your door yet?

How to Enter:

  2. Take a photo and send it to Claire.Colvin [at] MennoPlace.ca along with the names of the people who worked on the door and your location on campus.
  3. Please submit your photos of your team or individual Christmas doors no later than 4 pm on December 15th.

Safety is Everyone’s Business: The True Cost of WorkSafe Claims

/in , , , ,

Every claim counts — prevention protects everyone.

When an injury happens, the impact goes beyond the individual. WorkSafeBC claims affect staffing levels, morale, and even funding that supports programs and care delivery.

Here’s what happens when we reduce claims:

  • We keep premiums lower, meaning more resources for staff wellness and equipment.
  • We maintain consistent care for residents and clients.
  • We protect our reputation as a safe, supportive employer.

Here’s what you can do:

  • Work safely every day, follow policies and use equipment correctly.
  • Support coworkers who return to modified duties.
  • Keep communication open,  ask for training if you’re unsure.
  • Be proactive: prevention is the best cost savings strategy.

Let’s make every shift count:  for ourselves, our residents, and our community.

MEMO: Second Vacation Requests Reminder

/in , , , ,

MEMO

To: All Menno Home, Hospital and Apartments Staff
Date: November 28, 2025
Re: Submission of Second and Subsequent Vacation Choices

Menno Home, Hospital and Apartments staff,

This is a friendly reminder that all second subsequent vacation requests must be submitted by December 1, 2025. This includes ALL remaining vacation hours with the exception of 5 days.

Only a maximum of (5) days may be left unscheduled, BUT must be booked by August 1, 2026 (if not, Staffing will assign, and no changes will be made).

If the Staffing Department does not receive your second and subsequent vacation requests, they will randomly assign vacation dates.
