2026 Strategic Framework Open House

/in , , , ,

On May 15th, we had the opportunity to come together as a community to reflect on our journey and work over the past year and look ahead to what we are doing in the near future.

The open house was marked by an update in four specific areas – our strategic priorities – Christian Values, Home of Choice, Service Excellence, and People and Culture.

We were pleased to have 50 of our staff complete the event passport which shows that they received the update at each of the booths. These staff were entered in a draw to win an Amazon gift card. Congratulations to the winner – Milet from our Housekeeping and Laundry team!

We had many external stakeholders join us including community partners and a member of our Board and we thank them for coming. It was an encouraging time to see a strong representation across our organization, and throughout the Abbotsford community.

Thank you to everyone who attended, contributed, and helped bring this event to life.

Happy Mother’s day from all of us at Menno Place!

There are so many women who can act as mother figures in our lives – from our actual mothers, to step-moms, grandmothers, great grandmothers, god-mothers, aunties, close friends, friends’ mothers, mothers-in-law, neighbours, sister-in-laws and many, many more!

Today we celebrate all the women who have made positive impacts on our lives through the love and support they give.

Whether you are spending time with loved ones or reflecting on the memories of those who are no longer with us, we hope that you have a blissful day. We’re so thankful for you, moms!
