Menno Place at the Vancouver Sun Run

This past weekend, members of the Menno Place team came together to walk and run in the Vancouver Sun Run, proudly representing our organization in both spirit and action. Thank you for reminding us that when we move together with purpose and care, we strengthen both ourselves and our community.

Good Friday & 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.

The Meaning of Easter – Holy Week

Easter is celebrated by over 2.3 billion Christians in the world. For 40 days, Christians anticipate the death and resurrection of Jesus in a time of Lent. This ends on Palm Sunday which is the start of the Holy Week. The end of the Holy Week brings Good Friday, the day of Jesus’ death and Easter Sunday, His resurrection.
