Using Music to Connect With Residents at Menno Place
The Recreation team is delighted to announce that they are in the final stages of completing their certification and will officially be Music Care certified this September.
You’re Invited to Symphony in the Park!
Menno Place has been graciously given space for 15 people to sit close to the stage for this annual music event.
Kerry Dyck, our apartments chaplain will be hosting the space. Residents will need to get to the space on their own and bring their own lawn chairs. The space is available on a first come, first served basis. Please plan to arrive between 5:30-6:00. See you there!

Mother’s Day & Father’s Day Portraits
In May and June the apartments residents were invited to celebrate Mother’s Day and Father’s Day with special breakfasts. During the event we were able to capture portraits of many of the residents who attended. We’re delighted to make these portraits available to the residents and their families and friends. You can download the images and save them on your computer and/or have them printed.
Please note: there is a shop attached to the gallery site. You DO NOT have to order prints through this shop. If you chose to order this way please be aware the shipping prices are very high. We recommend you download the image and then send it to London Drugs or Walmart to have it printed. Unfortunately if we remove the shop it takes away the ability to download the images. We apologize for any confusion this causes.

The technicians who are working on our pendant system upgrade need to reprogram the wall units in each suite. They will also check your pendant.

With the new fire panel now installed at Terrace East, the fire safety technicians will test all smoke detectors and other fire safety equipment. You will hear the bells ring on occasion throughout the day. The technicians will enter each suite as part of the testing.
