Every May we celebrate <em>Great People<\/em> Month, a month of events and activities designed to recognize the incredible team members who are delivering on our vision of leading the way to better living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May 2 is the day we kick things off at the <em>Great People<\/em> Party. I look forward to this event all year, and this time it will be even more exciting as we\u2019ll be holding a President\u2019s Town Hall during the party where we\u2019ll announce the finalists for the Shannex Excellence Awards. We receive many nominations for these awards and I\u2019m so pleased that we\u2019ll be extending the recognition to more <em>GreatPeople<\/em>by sharing the finalists as well as the winners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>Great People<\/em> Party will be followed by weekly events, prizes and activities, and we\u2019ll end the month with our Excellence Awards Gala and a wrap-up Town Hall where we\u2019ll announce the winner of the grand prize: free groceries for a year!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Great People<\/em> Month will be an exciting time, but we know the impact of our team members is felt every day by residents in our communities and beyond. This year, we will welcome hundreds of new team members to new and existing communities everywhere we operate, and I am confident that the legacy of compassion, honesty, professionalism and safety that has been established over the past 37 years will continue to thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we reflect on the history of our organization, I also want to recognize my father and the founder of Shannex, Joseph Shannon. In February he was officially recognized with the Order of Nova Scotia \u2014 the province\u2019s highest honour. This recognition reflects his longstanding dedication, leadership and impact in the community \u2013 the influence of which we feel every day. I hope you join myself and our family in congratulating him on this honour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please enjoy the stories in this issue that highlight the <em>Great People<\/em>of Shannex. Whether you are a resident, family member or trusted partner, I\u2019m confident they will inspire you to reach out and extend a kind word to<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>recognize our exceptional team
