I’m pleased to present the spring edition of Connections<\/em>. As you read through the stories in the following pages, I want to acknowledge that they were written before April 13, 2026, when a labour disruption began at six of our CUPE-unionized long term care communities in Nova Scotia. To the valued team members who are part of the union negotiating with the Nova Scotia Government, please know that we understand how hard it was to step away from the residents you love. By the time this is published, I sincerely hope a resolution is reached, and we are back together again as one team, one community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The month of May is usually Great People Month, but for this year, we made the decision to move our celebrations from May to October out of respect for our colleagues at the striking homes and our other team members from across the organization who have been providing support. Great People Month is a time to recognize the contributions of every person at Shannex, and we look forward to celebrating at a time when everyone can come together, participate fully, and enjoy all that the month has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, we marked some exciting milestones for our organization. The opening of Phase 2 at West Bedford Transitional Health is a significant step forward for this<\/p>\n\n\n\n

new model of care, which is helping more Nova Scotians on their journey from hospital to home while easing pressure on the health system. I was also pleased to join New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt and Minister of Seniors, Lyne Chantal Boudreau, at a series of events to mark the beginning of construction for four new nursing homes in New Brunswick. These celebrations reinforce the strong partnership we\u2019ve built with the New Brunswick Government and our ongoing commitment to expanding much needed support for older adults in communities everywhere we operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every day brings new opportunities to make a difference, and this past year has shown what we can accomplish together. By working as a team, we\u2019re creating environments where everyone can thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy this issue and the new beginnings happening in your own life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
