Hometown Heroes Award for Eatonia Oasis Living
By Joan Janzen
The staff at Eatonia Oasis Living (EOL) have been the recipients of a well-deserved Hometown Heroes Award, presented and sponsored by Steritech. EOL was chosen from nominations submitted by Steritech employees throughout western Canada. They wanted to acknowledge and thank the staff for their hard work, as they made tough decisions and sacrifices throughout the pandemic, keeping the residents and each other safe.
Cora Knuttila, Administrator of EOL, said, “In the difficult times of Covid, the employees of Steritech were encouraged to nominate people for their Hometown Heroes campaign. It was actually my sister-in-law, Gemma Knuttila, who nominated the staff of EOL for the award.”
Steritech started this campaign last year. The staff was gifted with $400 worth of snacks, condiments, refreshments, gift cards plus more for the staff room, along with a letter of acknowledgement and a certificate.
“This is the first time we were acknowledged on this level,” Cora said. “As a non-profit personal care home, we don’t have all the resources a government funded facility has, but we have been so grateful for the support we have gotten from the Health Authority, and so appreciative of people’s gratitude, whether it be members of the resident’s families, board members or the general public.”
Congratulations to the staff of EOL on this well deserved award.
