RECAP: Winter is Coming II: All Staff Christmas Party
On Friday, December 16 2022, laughter was shared and the holiday spirit was strong at the Tikinagan “Winter is Coming II” All Staff Christmas Party. With over 180 staff in attendance at this online event, it was a great end to the 2022 year. The event kicked off with seasons greetings from Thelma Morris, Executive Director and Rachel Tinney, Associate Executive Director.

Staff Gift
Previous years, staff gifts included a sweater and a jacket. This year, we figured staff needed a place to put those sweaters and jackets!
