Christine, thank you for your assistance at the Provincial Network. Your efforts were greatly appreciated and you will be missed. I wish you good health and plenty of enjoyment over the next several years. Congratulations !
Christine – although we have not worked directly together on many occasions, it was truly wonderful to work with you with your positive upbeat personality, ‘always ready to give’ beautiful smile and kind words, and your amazing skills for organizing everything and everyone! I always enjoyed going down to PH Durham and seeing you! And it was always a blast when you were here in Ottawa – oh the stories 🙂 🙂 Wishing you all the very best Christine in your next chapter! ENJOY every single minute of it!!!!
Happy Retirement Christine
You truly are a kind beautiful person inside and out! Thank you for always creating a motivating atmosphere, you have been an inspiration to me! I wish you a fantastic relaxing and wonderful retirement.!

Congratulations and thank you for your many contributions to our field! Your impact on our community and on the developmental services sector, in general, is well-known and very much respected. Wishing you much happiness and joy in your retirement…
Well what can I say about this sad yet exciting news, Christine has always been a person who you can rely on, who get answers, who is dedicated and takes a challenge head on. I first met Christine back in January 2015 during the little flood… ok ok the big flood that occurred at 55 Gordon and I can say from that day forward I found a friend, a person you can laugh with, a person who shines and ultimately a person who works hard day and night for the people in her community. The PH is going to miss you but not as much as the clients you have interacted with over the years, I know we will all miss you, however we know you have hit a new timeline in your life, and we wish you well in this journey. And one last piece of advice from me to you , turn off your alarm you don’t need it anymore 😉
Hey Christine! I have missed your smiling face over the past year or so (even while greatly enjoying Kendra) and just want to say how much i appreciated your “can do” attitude, your willingness to work so hard for all, and the presence of your company in meetings. Wishing you a super-fantastic retirement!
Christine, wishing you all the best in your next adventure aka retirement. It has been a pleasure working with you throughout my career. Thank you for all your dedication and support within the developmental sector.
You will be greatly missed!

Christine, although our time working together has short, it has been an absolute pleasure. I love you poise, sweet demeanor, thoroughness and soft but hilarious sense of humour. I have not forgotten the code the photocopier since you told that me that joke last summer and believe me, I never will!! You will be greatly missed. Enjoy the next chapter of your journey.
All the very best,
Sharri-Ann

Very happy for you Christine. Thank you for your support to all the committee work for our Region. You have been a key part of the team to keep us all moving forward. I can only imagine how much you are looking forward to this next step in your life adventure!! Take care, Christine!
So happy for you Christine…you are one of a kind beautiful. Having you as a colleague was nothing but a blessing. Enjoy the fruits of your labour, and enjoy the next stage of your life, where every day is the weekend! You are now your own boss so have a fantastic retirement life! I will miss you!

Christine,
You are such an incredible ray of sunshine!! I remember my early days at the main office, and how nervous I was at times, but your kindness always felt so welcoming. No matter how busy you were, you always seemed to find time to check-in and offer a helping hand. I remember one time I was frantically putting together a project, worried about a deadline, and without even asking questions, you sat down with a pair of scissors and a roll of tape to help. Your glowing positivity, caring attitude, and passion for quality services will be deeply, deeply missed – but I am so happy for you to finally have this well deserved opportunity and focus on yourself. Cheers to new adventures!

Congratulation Christine, You will be missed here at the Abilities Centre, its been a blast working with you. On behalf of the entire Facilities Department at the Abilities Centre, we wish you all the best in your next chapter, its time to relax and enjoy life.
Congratulations on your retirement, I’m so happy for you! I hope this next chapter in your life is filled with fun, relaxing and memorable times! 🙂
We can only hope to be blessed with good team members in our work life, and that was certainly true of the time we worked together at PH. Your support, sense of humor, listening ear, antics and fully stocked snack drawer are just a few of the things, but most of all your friendship. May this transition into retirement be smooth and filled with good health, family, friends and time to do the things you enjoy! I look forward to crossing paths one day and hearing all about the good things!! Congratulations Christine!!
So very Happy for you Christine, you have always been so welcoming and a ray of sunshine at PHP and I’m sure you’ll light up every space you walk into in your retirement. Thank you for being kind and a force in getting things done. Congratulations!
Congrats Christine and thank you for your countless hours of support to the Provincial Network. You will be missed!!!!

Christine,
PH definitely will not be the same without you. You truly are one of a kind. Although we’ve only worked together for a mere 3 yrs, during that time you’ve been so incredibly supportive, sharing your knowledge of PH it’s history and all that truly is PH which has helped me tremendously.
You are the epitome of professionalism wrapped in this beautiful layer of support and kindness. You are quite funny too! I’m sorry that I never truly found this snack drawer Sue referred to! Count yourself lucky!
I hope this next chapter of your life brings you joy and happiness in whatever you do. Don’t be a stranger! You will be missed.
Tracy
Christine, our office will not be the same without you… I will miss your support, your candid, listening ear, and our talks. This retirement is so deserved by you. Just make sure to put as much effort into enjoying it, as you have while working with Participation House, it will definitely be a success! Congratulations!
Christine: Your legacy will always be present. I have been amazed at your commitment and dedication to the DS Sector Your calm demeanour, always willing to work “with” and a wonderful sense of humour will be missed.
Your next chapter begins after many years of service. You deserve to “ chillax” Wishing you the very best life has to offer in your retirement!! Cheers!

Congratulations Christine! I wonder, how many times you “reflect” on your career , especially as this day approaches
My sincere hope is that your reflection makes you smile. Your dedication and commitment to Developmental Services has created a legacy that you will be remembered for. Calm demeanour, always “ working with” several different groups and of course the ability to be our “glue”
I wish you the best life as you begin your new adventure and life chapter ! Cheers
Christine,
Where do I even begin?? You have been the absolute best mentor I could have ever wished for, and I will forever be grateful for all the wisdom, knowledge and kindness you have shown me since day one here at PH! From our lunch time chats and recipe swapping, to reviewing our recent shopping hauls, and everything in between, I truly mean it when I say I will miss you dearly. I am so excited for you to start this next (well deserved) relaxing chapter of your life, and I know its not a goodbye but merely a chat with you soon.
Wishing you all the very best on your retirement !!
Kendra
