Adventures in Brierland
Adventures in Brierland are a series of short, snappy, and happy cartoon-like videos that focus on various aspects of life at the Louis Brier Home and Hospital. They encapsulate the joy that is evident in bringing Jewish values into the home. The videos feature Ayelet Cohen Weil the C.E.O of the Louis Brier Foundation and her positive attitude and influence on daily life in her work-a-day world, which she affectionately calls Brierland.
KEEPING THE COMMUNITY INFORMED
The Snider Schmooze
Published by the Louis Brier Jewish Aged Foundation, and Named after Samuel Snider z’l — a prominent community leader and philanthropist in Vancouver — the Snider Schmooze provides updates and news about the Snider Campus, as well as stories about our residents, staff, and volunteers. It features information about upcoming events, fundraisers, and community initiatives, and recognizes the contributions of our supporters and volunteers. (the links are all here https://louisbrier.com/newsletters/) I will create an archive. Is this a printed newsletter that people can sign up to receive?

Awards & Recognition
The Louis Brier Home and Hospital received the 2021 and 2022 Non-Profit Employer of Choice award, the 2021, 2022, and 2023 Vancouver Readers Choice Award, Exemplary Standing with no recommendations by Accreditation Canada, and is one of the first facilities in Western Canada to transition fully to a paperless medical record system (PCC), during some of the most difficult times in healthcare. This is in large part due to good planning and diligence by the Brier’s management and staff, yet without funding from the Louis Brier Jewish Aged Foundation, all this would not have been possible.
