Re: RE-PAVING OF PRIMROSE DRIVEWAY
Dear Primrose Gardens Residents,
On Tuesday, June 22nd we will have a work crew here to re-pave the Primrose Gardens front driveway from the east entrance on Primrose St, down and around to the north exit on Brundige Ave. This is to fix the pot holes and uneven areas in the asphalt. Your safety is our top priority and we want to make this area safe to walk on.
The plan at this time is to have the main entrance still in use, using the sidewalk portion to get to and from Brundige Ave. No Vehicles will have access to the driveway for the whole day but can do quick pick-ups and drop-offs along Brundige Ave (north side of Primrose Gardens).
Please use caution when walking in this work area.
If you have any concerns or questions, please call the Primrose Reception Desk – 604 851 4000

Dear Pavilion Residents,
Starting Tuesday, June 8th and into the week, there will be a washing team on site to clean your patio and windows.
The washing team will use a scissor lift and work their way from top to bottom floors.
Please remove any cushions, breakables or expensive items from your deck. You may wish to ask your family or visitors for help with any heavy lifting. The washers will work around anything left but cannot guarantee it will not get wet, etc.

Dear Residents & Families of Terrace East,
As we head into the warmer weather we wanted to give you a couple of reminders:
- Medications for Outings – If you are going out and will be away during your medication time please call the LPN ON DUTY at 604-615-7652 to arrange to take your pills with you.
- Spring Cleaning – It’s a great time of year to take a look around the suite and see if there is any winter clothing to be packed away or any clutter that can be cleared. Family and friends can book a visit to come in and assist residents in getting ready for spring and summer.
- Food items – During your visit ensure expired food from fridge, cupboards and counters are disposed of in garbage. Clean fridge as necessary.
- No More Grocery Deliveries – Staff are no longer delivering groceries. Families will deliver groceries and other items during their scheduled visits.
- Air conditioners – All air conditioners must be installed by Menno Place staff. Call Claire 604 851-4004 to request installation.
- Wear Sunscreen – Enjoy these sunny days but remember to wear sunscreen to protect your skin. Add a hat for even better protection and don’t forget to drink lots of water if you’re out in the heat.
