Menno Place in the Media – Media Relations

/in

Menno Place is being featured on a wide variety of television and radio news stations. Karen Biggs, CEO, has been explaining to the media how and why we’ve decided to create the Temporary Skilled Workers position for family members to work as employees who support housekeeping, dietary and laundry.

Here is an example of an interview with Karen, done by News 1130 – CLICK HERE

Karen has been interviewed by CBC, The Current, CTV, Global TV and many others.

As the media becomes more interested in the Menno Home outbreak and our unique response, it seems like a good time to remind ourselves of our Media Relations policy:
