It's Gender Equality Week! Observed the fourth week of September, Gender Equality Week is a time to celebrate the progress made in advancing gender equality in Canada — and to reflect on the work still ahead. This week reminds us of the importance of creating a society where everyone, regardless of gender identity, can fully participate in social, economic, and political life. Change is possible — and it takes all of us. Together, we can build a more equitable, inclusive and stronger Canada.

(WFD) who's mandate is to build a world where deaf people can sign anywhere.

This year's theme, "No Human Rights Without Sign Language Rights" emphasizes the essential role of sign language guaranteeing everyone, regardless of ability, can access human rights, education, and full participation in society.

Rosh Hashanah—the Jewish New Year—begins the High Holy Days, a time of reflection, renewal, and hope. Marked by the blowing of the shofar (a trumpet often made from a ram's horn), it is both a call to celebration and a reminder of new beginnings. Shana Tovah! Wishing all who observe a sweet and meaningful year ahead.

Happy Fall Equinox! Also known as Mabon, it is a time of balance, gratitude, and reflection. This day also marks the start of the autumn season in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere. As light and darkness share the sky in equal measure, may this season bring you harmony, abundance, and a deeper appreciation for life’s harvest.

CMH's Emergency Preparedness Lead, Brenda D. Joined the Cambridge Fire Department (CFD) at their Annual Open House on September 13, 2025. Together, CMH and CFD elevate our partnership in care by ensuring CMH staff, medical professionals, and volunteers know what to do in a variety of emergent situations. These may include evacuation drills, fire simulator and laser extinguisher training, educating leaders on incident management, fire safety plan reviews, and regular attendance to our Emergency Preparedness Committee meeting. This Open House provided us a shared opportunity to highlight Emergency Codes with a focus on Code Red (fire) and how hospitals prepare for such emergencies.

Thank you to CFD and the community for coming together to promote emergency preparedness!

World Patient Safety Day is a global call to action to raise awareness and inspire movement in healthcare safety. At CMH, "Patient safety from the start" ties directly into recent work to improve Newborn Screening processes (NBS). NBS helps detect treatable conditions early. It's so important that our teams across Women and Children, Laboratory, and Purchasing & Supply Chain came together to streamline the courier process of newborn samples. Strengthening this ensures newborns get the safest start possible. Patient safety is everyone's responsibility. By working together, CMH staff create stronger systems, reduce risks, and build a safer future for all patients — from the beginning and throughout their healthcare journey.

Huge thank you to the people behind the scenes – the ones who rescue us from login limbo, our calls from vanishing into the void, and tame the printers so we don't have to. In the spirit of celebrating IT Professionals Day (Sept. 16, 2025), meet the newest additions to our team! (left to right, top down) Daniel G., Marko C., Morgan M., and Vaneeth J. Here's what they had to say about being an IT professional at CMH:

Daniel: "I enjoy being able to assist staff at CMH - helping them make their workflow easier throughout their shift is important to me."

Marko: "It's meaningful to me to use my skills with tech in a way that contributes to the well-being of staff, and by extension patients."

Morgan: "It's fast-paced and challenging, but incredibly rewarding because everything I do ultimately ties back to patient care and safety."

Vaneeth: "It's deeply rewarding to see how properly managed technology can be a powerful tool for saving lives and improving quality of care. At CMH, I get to work with modern systems and support tools that directly impact patient care."

Mennonites in Ontario reflect wide diversity in culture, lifestyle, and work. First settling in the Cambridge area of Waterloo Township in the 1800s, they have become a vital part of the Region’s community. While many picture Mennonites as horse-and-buggy travelers in plain dress without electricity, this describes only Old Order Mennonites, Amish, and related groups, mostly living north and west of Waterloo. Of the 59,000 Mennonites in Ontario, just 20% belong to these conservative traditions. In fact, Ontario has the world’s greatest Mennonite diversity, home to more than 30 Mennonite and Amish groups.

This week, you can take a self-guided Mennonite Art Tour at Grebel. Learn more: https://uwaterloo.ca/grebel/news/mennonite-heritage-week-2025

📸This painting, titled “Barnraising” by Canadian artist Peter Goetz depicts a traditional Mennonite community event, highlighting values of hard work, mutual aid, and togetherness. Goetz, known for his portrayals of Mennonite life and landscapes, has work housed in the Mennonite Archives of Ontario at Conrad Grebel University College, affiliated with the University of Waterloo.
