To start the new year off Shawna reminded us that sometimes we don’t realize that part of the gift we have received is the journey.

Re: Holidays Announcement Regarding Sick Calls
Dear Team,
In the past, we have noticed a pattern of increased sick calls over long weekends/ stat holidays, followed by staff working on the statutory holiday the next day. All staff scheduled to work on New Year’s Day are expected to report to their shifts as usual.
Due to this recurring pattern, we will be requiring proof of illness/doctor’s note as per the Collective Agreement from anyone who calls in sick on January 1, 2025. Additionally, if you call in sick on December 31, 2024 and then come to work on the statutory holiday, January 1, 2025, an investigation will be initiated by your Manager with a Shop Steward and a doctor’s note is mandatory. Failure to comply will result in disciplinary action and a risk of no sick time pay.
We appreciate your understanding and dedication to our residents’ care. Adhering to these guidelines will help ensure smooth operations throughout the holidays.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your department manager.
Sincerely,
Jessy Manhas

Dear Team,
As we celebrate this sacred season of Christmas, we are reminded of the incredible gift of Jesus Christ, whose birth brings hope, peace, love and joy to the world. The message of love and grace that arrived in the world that day is at the heart of everything we do here at Menno Place, and it is reflected so beautifully in the work you do each day.
Your unwavering dedication to providing compassionate care shines as a testament to Christ’s love in action. Through your hands, hearts, and prayers, you bring His light into the lives of the seniors we serve, and we are profoundly grateful for your ministry of service.
As we reflect on the year past, we give thanks to God for His guidance and provision. We are also deeply thankful for each of you—your faithfulness, resilience, and commitment have been a blessing to Menno Place and to the seniors who rely onus.
This Christmas, may you find time to rest, rejoice, and reflect on the true meaning of the season. We pray that your hearts are filled with the peace of Christ, your homes with His joy, and your lives with His abundant blessings.
On behalf of the Board, leadership, and the entire Menno Place community, we wish you and your loved ones a joyous Christmas and a New Year of hope and renewal in His name.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Sujata Connors, CEO & Carol Dyck, MBS Board Chair
