Donation To Covenant House
This year in lieu of our annual team Christmas Party, we decide to use those funds to help vulnerable populations in our community. While it’s been a tough year for many of us, it’s been an even tougher year for those who already had less to begin with. We wanted to spread some of that love through a cash donation of $400 to Covenant House BC which in turn works hard to provide care and hope to homeless and at-risk youth. Through the generous triple match campaign spearheaded by Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds , our donation has become $1200. For those of you able to share a little something with others less fortunate this year, this campaign further catapults your kindness and generosity.
Ugly Mask Contest/ Staff Xmas Party
On December 15th, members of the Backs in Action team got together to celebrate the holiday season, participate in some fun online games and share the masks they created for our “ugly mask competition.” Colleagues voted for the “ugliest,” “most creative” and “most festive masks” amongst the bunch. After a close competition, Ugliest Mask went to RMT Jackson Chu , Most Festive went to Front Desk Team Member Ashleigh Owen and Most Creative went to Chiropractor Dr. Harrison Wagner . There were some phenomenal masks and some very close tallies on the votes. Congratulations to the winners.
