Re:       Planned BC Hydro Power Outage
________________________________________________________________________

BC Hydro has scheduled some system upgrades in our area of Abbotsford. They have informed us that there will be a power outage impacting the Menno Hospital building:

Date:          Sunday, October 26, 2025

Time:          9:30am – 4:00pm

*Please note the times are approximate

During any power outage, our on-campus backup system will supply electricity to all essential services. Resident care will not be interrupted.

Staff are reminded to ensure that all oxygen concentrators are plugged into the backup power supply. Backup power will also maintain essential lighting. Phones and the nurse call bell system will remain operational.

Please note that the menu for the day has been adjusted. Heating may be affected, so staff are asked to ensure residents are dressed in layers and that warm blankets are available for their comfort.

Menno Home is on a separate power supply and will not be affected by this event.

If you have any questions, please reach out to staff on your unit.
