Hymn Stories – February 2024

/in ,

This month’s hymn is Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty penned by English minister, Reginald Heber, in the early 19th century. Heber was a gifted poet and hymnist who faithfully served his small congregation. After his death, his widow discovered he had written over 50 hymns. She succeeded in publishing his work and brought them to the forefront of the Christian community.

What Is Fit Testing?

Fit testing is the method for finding the respirator that fits your face and making sure it provides a tight seal to help keep you protected from airborne diseases. Fit testing must be repeated at least annually. Fit testing must also be conducted whenever respirator design or facial changes occur that could affect the proper fit of the respirator.

Fit testing session on Monday Jan 29th 2024 with Bryan and Barb from 1:00-5:00 in the Learning Center.

Direct care staff (Nurses and HCAs): Please sign up on the sign up sheet present at the nursing station. Contact RCC and hospital RNs for further information. For all other departments feel free to show up on any given time slots without signing up.

Reach out to Loveleen at loveleen.sekhon@mennoplace.ca for any questions or concerns.

Retirement Announcement – Pearl Nucich

From: Sujata Connors
To: All Menno Place Staff
Re: Retirement of Pearl Nucich

Leadership career paths are unique to everyone.  As leaders we know that we are on a continual improvement path that will ultimately culminate in retirement.  This is a major life change. When the time to make the decision to retire finally comes, it is exciting but also scary.

 We would like to take this opportunity to share with all of you the journey of a longstanding Menno Place leader who is preparing to make the transition to retirement – Pearl Nucich.

Pearl Nucich joined the Menno Place team in 2013. Before joining us at Menno she had a meaningful role at Fraser Health.   Pearl’s background in leadership and her pivotal role at Menno Place has enabled us to move forward in our strategic plans.

We are incredibly grateful to Pearl for the devotion, leadership, and love that she dedicates to the Menno residents, families, staff, and Board. It is at this point of the journey that we say goodbye and best wishes to Pearl. Her last day at Menno Place will be June 28th.

Pearl’s Executive Assistant role is pivotal to our organization.  We will be posting this position soon so that we can build a transition plan that will continue to support the Menno Place Team and the residents whom we cherish and serve.

Please join me and the Leadership Team in wishing Pearl all the best for the next leg of her journey.
