North York Celebrations

We had a lot of celebrations during the month of December! Here are the highlights:

The North York staff held a pot luck lunch early in the month that included a gift exchange where staff had chances of stealing gifts from each other. Julia, our Administrative Assistant, who was the lead organizer of this event added a scavenger hunt to the afternoon event. Two objects were hidden in our office for staff to find. Winners received an extra gift for finding the objects. It was a great event for the staff to get together, catch up with each other and share good food and laughter.
Thanks Julia and her helpers for putting on a great event!
