Jeremy Menzies
Manager
Born and raised in Salmon Arm, from a young age I loved to play golf and “knew” that one day I would be a Head Professional working in the golf industry. After achieving both a Golf Course Management and a Business Administration diploma at Camosun College in Victoria, BC, and working at the Salmon Arm Golf Club for eight years, I went in a different direction.
During the transition into my role here at Piccadilly Terrace Retirement Residence I helped in property development, worked on the stucco crew during the construction phase, became the maintenance man and then the Assistant Manager before finding myself managing this wonderful place, working with a great team of professionals who share the same values I do.
Maybe it’s due to my golf course days, but I’ve always enjoyed being around seniors. They embody humour, stories and wisdom. I believe that offering a secure, enjoyable and worry-free living environment to our residents is a very worthwhile goal.
When I’m not at the “The Terrace” I love to spend time with my wife and four amazing children, coaching hockey, snowboarding, riding motorcycle and fishing. Oh yes, and hitting that little white ball around too!
Vicki Doose
Activity Co-ordinator
I was born and raised in Salmon Arm.
In 1987, my husband and I and our two young children went to Papua New Guinea to do missions work. Our third child was born abroad during that time. No matter where I live, my personal faith in God is a core value that keeps me going day by day.
We moved our family back to Salmon Arm in 2001. Now, our three adult children all live in the area. For me, gathering with family is one of life’s greatest blessings! As well as, having 5 grand daughters; what a lively fun bunch of girls.
I joined the PT team in 2004 and am very happy to be involved with coordinating activities for its residents. PT is a fabulous place to work with great co-workers and wonderful residents to interact with.
I love working here!
Jan Peters
Administrator
I grew up in Salmon Arm and came back in 2003, after spending 20 years living and working in many positions across Canada and overseas. I was a House Mom in boarding schools in both Germany and Saskatchewan. In Abbotsford, BC I worked as a Life Skills Teacher with mentally challenged people and as a supervisor of Care Aides, as well as in a variety of secretarial positions. Early in 2005 I joined the Front Desk team here at Piccadilly Terrace.
I love working here because I enjoy interacting with the seniors and building relationships with them. My colleagues are great to work with, which makes coming to work enjoyable, and I’m able to use my strengths in administration and organization to help keep “The Terrace” running smoothly and efficiently.
My interests outside of work include travel, camping and interacting with friends and family.
Darla Girard
Marketing & Wellness
I was born in Calgary, but moved to Salmon Arm from Rocky Mountain House, AB in 1980. In my 20’s I started my own business – a respite and home care service for special needs children and the elderly. I loved working with seniors so I went on to become a Long Term Care Aide in a private facility. After the birth of my son I was fortunate enough to be invited to come to work here at Piccadilly Terrace.
My fellow employees are amazing and I love being part of the Front Desk team. We all work together to create an atmosphere that is warm and friendly. Every senior here has a unique and fascinating story to tell and each one deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. Piccadilly Terrace has been my second home since August, 2004 and I plan to work here until I’m ready to move in!
Outside of Piccadilly Terrace I love to bake and to spend time with my friends and my two wonderful children.
Camella Wiebe
Kitchen Manager
I was born in Maple Ridge, BC. After living in various parts of Canada, my husband and I moved to and made Salmon Arm our home in 1996. Since then, our family has expanded to include three wonderful children. I ran a baking booth at the Salmon arm farmers market for 7 years, transitioning into catering for another 7 years.
I joined the Terrace team in 2017, starting as a server in the dining room, and helping on the front desk and in the kitchen as needed since 2022. Working at the Terrace has been so wonderful. I love interacting with the residents and have great people to work with here. This reflects in a very pleasant experience for myself and the residents. It is great to come to work and not feel like work but an extension of family.
It is an enjoyable challenge for me and my kitchen team to create well balanced and tasty meals for our residents.
My time spent away from work is with family and friends. I love cooking, hiking, biking and scrapbooking. I take every opportunity to travel that I can. I have been to 13 countries so far, but I still have a few more on my bucket list yet to see.
Connie Plett
Dining Room Manager
I was born in Winnipeg Manitoba, but was raised in Richmond BC. I moved to Salmon Arm in 1991, and all three of my daughters were born here. I have had many jobs over the years, including driving for UPS, being Secretary for Enderby Christian School (now Kings Christian School), working for a golf course, and for our local airport when it was in operation. I have been working at the Terrace since 2009.
I love coming to work everyday because I enjoy all the friendships I have developed over the years with my co-workers and residents.
When I’m not working I love to spend my time with my grown daughters, reading, watching basketball – especially the Golden State Warriors, and Hallmark shows.
Tammy Trottier
Head Housekeeper
I have lived my whole life in Salmon Arm. When I married and had children I was a stay at home mom. A few years ago I began looking for a part time job, and found myself on the housekeeping team here at Piccadilly Terrace. In 2010 I accepted the position of Head Housekeeper, and it is a totally positive experience.
I really enjoy working here because, since day one, it has always felt like home to me. The other staff members and all the residents are another big part of why it is so much fun to work here.
My interests include watching Junior A hockey, scrapbooking and spending time with my family.
