We believe everyone should have the opportunity to live a life of purpose, and we create environments that make that possible. _
- Our mission is to celebrate the human spirit in every way possible - and that applies to both our residents and our employees. There’s a lot that goes into being a member of our team - and there’s a lot that you’ll get out of the experience too. We go the extra mile to ensure that each member of our staff feels safe, secure, enriched and empowered in their role. So that everyone under our roof is given the opportunity to thrive, grow and make the most of every day. _
- Vaccines are a proven, safe and powerful weapon in our battle against COVID-19. Now that vaccines are widely available and recognizing that many of our staff are already vaccinated, vaccination will be a condition of employment for new hires, except when impossible due to legitimate, established exceptions. _The vaccine must be a _two-dose COVID-19 _vaccination series approved by Health Canada_._ _This is one more important step to protect both our residents and staff as we continue to battle this deadly virus._
