ALL STAFF: No Parking in Fire Lanes

This is a reminder not to park in the fire lanes by Hospital Receiving (Chapel). Only park in designated parking stalls.

As we now have security present at the 11pm shift change at the front of the campus in those lots, there should be no reason for parking in fire lanes or sitting in cars waiting for parking to open up.
Thank you.

Staff, residents, family members and visitors encouraged to wear orange May 31 – June 4

Menno Place is calling on all staff, residents and visitors to wear orange from May 31 – June 4 as a form of recognition and reconciliation with Indigenous people. The Canadian flag will be flying at half-mast at the front of Menno Place.

The remains of 215 children were found buried at a former residential school in Kamloops, BC. See News Story. Menno Place acknowledges that there are those who live and serve at Menno Place who will be in mourning this week and whose families will feel the intergenerational trauma once again. We wish to recognize and honour those in all generations who have experienced this trauma and its ongoing impact, especially in light of the news of this recent discovery.

The Mennonite Central Committee, Canada, responded to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action #48 and #49, acknowledging the long, complex history and current relationships between MCC, as an institution and its workers, and the Indigenous people of what we now call Canada – Click Here to Read the MCC Response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action.

 

Staff Parking Notice

Now that visitors have returned to our campus, you are reminded that staff are not to park:

  • in visitor parking spots within the campus parking lots. Thanks for thinking of our visitors who may not be as mobile as you are and need the parking spots closer to the building entrances.
  • on Primrose Street or Brundige Ave in “resident only” parking. This parking is reserved for residents and their visitors which is increasing with the sunny weather. Private care workers and delivery services also use this parking when providing services to residents in the Apartments.

Thank you!
