Easter Services at Menno Place

Residents from all across our campus, families, and friends are all invited to join us for our Easter Services. All services take place in the Menno Hospital Chapel.

To find the chapel enter through the main entrance of Menno Hospital (by the round parking lot). Take the elevator to the second floor and turn left. Take the first right to walk across the skywalk and enter the chapel. The chapel and skywalk are both fully accessible.

If you plan to porter a resident using a mobility device please allow extra time as we anticipate busy elevators and a full house.

MEMO: TE Only Elevator Shut-Down and Phone Line Disruption

For Terrace East ONLY

North Elevator Shut-Down – March 11-12th

The main lobby elevator in Terrace East has a repair scheduled for Wednesday, March 11th to Thursday, March 12th. During these two days, the elevator will not be available to use.

Please use the South Elevator (at the end of the hall) during this time. Thank you for your patience as we share one elevator.

Phone Line Disruption – March 12th

We are making a behind the scenes upgrade to our technical equipment, and as a result expect that each suite will lose phone access for about 5 minutes at some point during the day. We do not know what time each individual suite will be impacted; we do not need access to the suite for this upgrade.

We understand that the pendant system will continue to function during the short disruption. Staff will monitor the situation and remain aware of any issue that may arise during this upgrade.

Thank you for your cooperation.

MEMO: Apts Power Washing of Decks and Windows

Our annual spring cleaning is about to begin in the apartments. We have arranged for the same contractor as last year to come and wash the decks and windows. This project will begin as early as Monday, March 9th and is expected to take about 2 weeks per building to complete.

This memo is official notice that we will be accessing all suites to complete this work.

The work will begin March 9th in Primrose Gardens on the 6th floor, and we will work our way down floor by floor. We have asked the contractor to provide us with daily progress updates so that we can do our best to keep you informed. Listen for these updates at lunch announcements. Contact the Life Enrichment Team with any questions.

Schedule

Primrose Gardens: March 9th – March 23rd
Terrace East: March 24 – April 7th
Terrace West: April 8th – April 26th
Pavilion: April 27th – May 11th

The contractor will be using a power wash cart that will be rolled into each suite. Residents do not have to move any furniture in their suite. They will access your deck via the patio door.

Please move smaller items off the deck, including items that shouldn’t get wet (if you are able to do so).

Thank you for your cooperation
