Staff Appreciation BBQ : Every year, the City hosts a staff appreciation barbecue during National Public Works Week. This year, more than 400 staff members – including the Mayor and Members of Council – gathered to enjoy a catered lunch, live music (performed by City staff) and spend time with colleagues. The Mayor, City Manager and Deputy City Manager of Public Works made opening remarks by expressing their appreciation for the role that Public Works professionals play in our administration. In addition to the catered lunch, there was an ice cream truck and lawn games on sire (including jumbo Jenga and Connect Four, cornhole, checkers and ping pong). New this year, staff organized a “Target Takedown,” a fun and competitive game of floor hockey to encourage healthy and active team building.
The winning team was awarded a future lunch, and each Public Works staff member was entered into a raffle to receive a Tim Hortons gift card.
