Meal time routine: During meals,
staff and youth sit down together to have a
pleasant meal and conversation. We want no
one to be hungry, and serve reasonable
portions to all residents. Depending on what
is being served, there may be seconds. Out
of courtesy and respect for our peers, we
ask that residents do not commence there
chores while others are still at the table
finishing their dinner. An acceptable time
frame to start your chores would be to
dedicate 1700 to 1730 as meal time and 1730
to 1800 as chore time. After the meal is
eaten and before anyone goes to their room
for personal time, cutlery is accounted for.
Household chores: Mee-Quam Youth
Residence expects that everyone take part in
keeping the house clean and tidy and in good
repair. Chores are divided up equally and
posted on the Chore List every Friday. For
clarification on how to complete a task, ask
staff and/or refer to the postings located
in each area. Every resident is responsible
for keeping their own bedroom clean and tidy
and making their bed daily.
Resident Meetings:
Resident Meetings take place on Sundays.
This is an opportunity for staff and
residents alike to discuss their concerns,
issues, schedule of activities for the
following weekend, etc. Residents are also
given Request Forms which provide the
opportunity to make requests for certain
activities or items which you may be
interested in having at Mee-Quam Youth
Residence.
