Staff and Visitor Parking Disruption – Monday (April 3), Tuesday (April 4)

On Monday, April 3rd and Tuesday, April 4th, some staff and visitor parking stalls at Parking Lot A will be blocked off due to trench excavation to supply electrical power for the Menno Home South Wing Air Conditioning upgrade and the new Hair Salon.

How are staff impacted?

Parking:

• Staff will be able to temporarily park at open visitors stalls at Parking Lot A or Lot B.
• You can also park at no-cost at the Lutheran Church on the corner of Ware and Marshall (2 blocks from Menno Place) as long as you have a pass.
  Passes are issued from HR. Cars that park at the church without a pass will be towed. (see location in image below).

Entering Menno Home:

• The Staff Laundry Entrance will be temporarily relocated to the Kitchen Delivery Entrance by the Garbage Bins to the east of the Laundry.
• This entrance will be monitored by Security and they will only allow entry to staff who displays their Photo Access Badge.
