 I want to send you my heartfelt best wishes for your upcoming retirement. I cannot think of a more deserving person. You have been extremely supportive to me since day 1 and even before. Recently I reminded you that we met when MaryJo had me come meet you, Lisa and Dominic as part of my interview process to get this job 🙂. Your contributions to Peel Living and Region of Peel are enduring. We will miss you however, I look forward to continued lunches and phone calls. Love You Ida!! 

Dearest Ida, it’s hard to image the office without you. Your constant support has been a safety net for all of us, kept us moving even on the toughest days. We are so grateful for the wisdom you’ve shared over the years. Wishing you a retirement filled with the same joy and peace you brought to this team. You will be deeply missed!

May your retirement be filled with good health, joy, and all the things you finally have time to enjoy. You will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

 Ida may your retirement be filled with good health, joy, and time to enjoy life. You will be deeply missed but never forgotten.  Thank you for all the years of friendship and support. 

 Ida, who gave you permission to leave?! Thank you for always being such a wonderful person to laugh and work with. You’ve been our go to expert for everything, and your reliability and knowledge are unmatched. You’ve been the absolute best, and such a pleasure to experience. Your absence will definitely be felt! I wish you all the best in your next chapter—I hope you spend your days living it up! 

Dear Ida,

As you begin this new chapter, I want to take a moment to thank you - not just as a colleague, but as a mentor who has made a lasting impact on my professional journey.

Your knowledge, integrity, and generosity in sharing your experience have guided so many of us over years. I have truly appreciated your support, your thoughtful advice, and the example you set every day through your work and leadership. Working alongside you has been both a privilege and learning experience.

While you will be greatly missed, I am genuinely happy for you and wish you retirement filled with good health, joy, and the time to enjoy everything you’ve been working toward.

Thank you for everything you’ve contributed and for the legacy you leave behind. You will always be remembered with respect and gratitude

 Thank you for your incredible leadership and dedication. You’ve left a lasting impact on all of us. 

 My fave memory with Ida was when I was in office and I had just started the role, she came to me and let me know that I was doing a good job. For someone that has been in a union for the majority of my 20 years, I didn’t realize how much of an impact it would have on me – I needed that.

I forever grateful for our interaction.

 Ida was the first Property Manager that I ever worked with and we immediately bonded. We call each other “Buddy” for a reason. 

 Ida Wong, funny smart and kind are just a few words that come to mind. I think that for us, we will remember the people we went through a pandemic with. The ones that supported us and help to calm our collective nerves. This group of people became closer. More like family. It's hard to say goodbye to people we hold in high esteem. It's hard to say goodbye to family, but we do this time with the hopes that Ida will fulfill the things she dreams of for herself. After a lifetime of looking out for and looking after so many. It's her time now. lets hope she's as good to herself as she has been to all of us. Thanks D.    

 Beautiful, Charming with a cute smile, Focused, talked with Sense, Quick to respond, very Reliable and Helpful and most of all very Understanding. 

Hi Ida,

Congratulations on your well-deserved retirement. It's been a pleasure working with you. Wishing you good health and happiness always

 Enjoy retirement, Ida! You made this place warmer with your heart… and your banana bread did the rest! 

Ida – You have been everyone’s go to – from Risk Management to Contracts to Finance to co-workers! 

I don’t think there is many people who do not know you or who have not come to you for direction or advice.

Meetings and office days will never be the same without you and your banana bread and peanut butter balls!

We appreciate your support and friendship over the years and wish you well in this next chapter.

Who knew that knowing someone for such a short time could leave such a lasting impact? 

 AS MY MANAGER IT WAS ALWAYS FUN TO HAVE MEETINGS WITH IDA

I COULD ALWAYS GET HER TO GIGGLE AND LOST HER TREND OF THOUGHT

SHE DOSE MAKE GOOD BANNA BREAD

I WILL MISS YOU IDA

LV ME 

 Say goodbye to tension and hello to your pension 🙂 

Ida, When I first came to Peel Living, it was clear to see that you were the matriarch, the oracle, - keeper and knower of everything.  You were the first person everyone went to when they didn’t know the answer, when they needed advice, what they could and couldn’t do to resolve something and still to this day, that’s apart of your everyday.  I’m asking for all of us but is there a line we’ll be able to call you when you’re officially off the clock?  If I could get that number, it would be greatly appreciated!  I’m happy to keep it confidential!  Also, can I subscribe to a weekly delivery of banana bread? 

I watched in awe of the important work you did while on special projects.  The strides you made to push Peel Living forward and the team did not go unnoticed.  I really felt at those times that we were forging ahead and doing the things we needed to do, with your leadership.

I’m sad that I never got to work directly with you until Credit River Way.  I wish that I had the opportunity to shadow you and live a week in your shoes on how to be a PM, how to do all the things you do – not that I could ever measure up, but to be a sponge and absorb everything you know.  When your last day comes then I could ask myself, “what would Ida do?”.  I think those words and that question is the gift you’ll leave us all with.  There isn’t enough time, no matter how you quantify it – to download your brain and make the policies, manuals, books, process maps, reports – all of it to capture what you have meant to this department, this team, and the housing world.

I will believe you’re officially retired on April 2nd because you could say April Fools on April 1st and then this will be a hilarious joke.  I’ve been manifesting that and I hope it will play out exactly this way because I don’t know Peel Living without you in it.

It’s been an incredible privilege and honour to work in the same realm as you.  As you enter this new chapter, I wish you all the very best, lots of travel as I’m sure you’ll do, and the biggest congratulations ever that you so deserve!  We will miss you beyond words, every single day.

Hi Ida,

Thank you for all the support over the years, you are a wealth of information and knowledge!

Most of all, thank you for your friendship and of course, the banana bread!

Going to miss you! Enjoy your next chapter in your life.

I will miss Ida and her warm welcoming, vast knowledge and especially the banana bread and peanut butter balls 

Working with you has truly been an amazing experience. Your support during the AC replacement project meant so much — you were always available to discuss issues, no matter the time. Those late‑evening meetings to keep the project running smoothly showed your education and I’ll never forget how you even offered to take calls on your days off. You’ve always gone above and beyond, and it’s been a privilege to work alongside you. I hope retirement brings you the rest and relaxation you absolutely deserve. Take some time for yourself now — you’ve earned every minute of it!

Wishing you all the very best in this new chapter.

 Dear Ida, Congratulations on a wonderful career! You’ve been so much more than a colleague to me—you’ve been a mentor I could always count on. I’m thrilled that you finally get to trade your laptop for some well-deserved 'me time. Happy retirement!

It has been such a privilege working with you over the last two years. Your wealth of knowledge has been an incredible resource for me and I cant thank you enough for your constant support and guidance. The region of peel is losing  true expert, but I’m so excited for your next chapter. Happy retirement 

Happy retirement! Your expertise made a lasting impact.
