Peggy Worboys
Presently I am a retired Grandmother of three adult children and two adult step-children who are all married. I now have five grandchildren and six step-grandchildren ranging in age from two to thirteen.
My work life started in the Spring of 1972 a few months before completing high school.
My work experience has consisted of thirty-six years in the Healthcare Sector; one year at Parkview Manor, Stouffville ON, one year for Lee Manor, Owen Sound ON, and thirty-four years for Fairview Mennonite Home, Cambridge ON. I also worked three years in retail and three years in custodial for Stouffville Christian School while I assisted my husband on the farm, for a total sum of forty-two years. The last sixteen years managed the Housekeeping and Laundry Depts. at Fairview Mennonite Home.
During those forty-two years, post high school I achieved a Certificate in the one year Healthcare Aide Course at Conestoga College circa 1978, a Certificate in the Computer Course at Conestoga College as a part-time student, circa 1986, a Certificate from the Ontario Hospital Association-Long Distance Learning, Modern Management Course, circa 2000 and the Y2K Facilitator for FMH, circa 1999. I was the OH and SC Worker rep circa,1986-2000, then the OH and SC Certified Management rep., circa 2000-2016, and worked with the IPAC Team, circa 2000-2016.
I joined the Ontario Healthcare Housekeepers Association Region 5-2, circa 2000-2016 and co-authored the OHHA EVS Course for Front Line Workers. Specifically the IPAC unit. I revised the H and S/WHMIS Course materials, circa 2015 when WHMIS transitioned to the new Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).
In addition to my work life history I must add that I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, live theatre, musical events, dining out, travelling, gardening, reading, home décor, knitting, cooking and baking, and connections with my church and community.
