History

History
Motivated by faith in God and concern for the elderly the Mennonite Benevolent Society MBS was formed in 1953 to provide housing and longterm healthcare for seniors

Since that time visionary leadership from the Board generous donations from Society members and financial support from government have all contributed to ongoing development

See Timeline of Events in MBS History

From operating a 26bed retirement home in the early 1950s MBS has grown to become one of the major longterm care and housing organizations in the province With the completion of Primrose Gardens in 2010 our care facilities and apartment buildings will serve about 700 residents

Looking ahead to the need for redeveloping our older facilities in future MBS purchased the Ebenezer Senior Home Society property in Abbotsford in late 2009 The next chapter of MBS history promises to be the most exciting yet
