I'm so sorry to hear this. I worked with Mavis for many years at the Winnipeg Convention Centre and she was always kind and dedicated, with a ready smile. She worked quietly with all the Maintenance "Men" and was well respected by all of us. I have fond memories of Mavis at her desk each morning with her toast. It's these little things that stay with us. My sincere condolences to all of Mavis' family. She was very dear. - Posted by: Audra Szczepanik (Former Colleague) on: Jul 09, 2020
