Re: Celebrating & Fostering Belonging – Keeping Residents at the Heart of Menno Place
________
Dear Team,
One of the things that makes Menno Place so special is the incredible diversity of the people who live and work here. Over the years, we’ve enjoyed celebrating a variety of cultural traditions together, and those moments have been meaningful and memorable.
As we continue to grow as a community, we’ve taken some time to reflect. While we’ve celebrated many cultures, we’ve also realized that we haven’t been able to celebrate each culture, leaving some left out. Our goal is to support equity, diversity, inclusivity and belonging. [You can read our full EDIB policy on sharepoint.]
With this in mind, we’ve decided to hold one inclusive event each year that is resident focused with staff involvement. Our residents will be at the centre, celebrating their stories, cultures, traditions, and uniqueness. The Recreation Manager and team will take the lead on organizing this event, and staff are warmly encouraged to contribute ideas and join in the celebration.
This new annual event will build on what we already do so well — like the “All About Me” posters in long-term care and assisted living as well as our resident and family-centred care motto, “If it matters to you, it matters to me.” With residents as our focus, we’ll create a space where we can invite them to share their culture and uniqueness with us.
We also value and respect the diversity of interests and affiliations among our team members. Although we respect and wish to celebrate every uniqueness or culture among our staff, to do this equitably will not be feasible. Our decision ensures our spaces and focus remain on the people who live here, those who are supported by our staff.
We’ll continue to celebrate important staff recognition days and events each year, examples include:
Thank you for everything you do to make Menno Place a welcoming, inclusive, and caring community of belonging. If you have ideas for our annual resident-focused celebration, we’d love to hear them! Please send your thoughts to Linda Weatherly at Linda.Weatherly@MennoPlace.ca.
Warmly,
Sujata Connors, CEO and the Executive Team
