The gang at Mountainview Turf enjoyed their annual summer barbeque on Friday afternoon, which serves as a celebration of a busy and successful season thus far. The employees were treated to a delicious steak barbeque served up by Billy T, and then a relaxing afternoon of drinks, games, and prizes. It was a fantastic way to take a breather, bond as a team, and enjoy a beautiful summer afternoon. Thank you to Lindsay and Jared for treating us to this day, the staff enjoys it so much.
This past Saturday, a great gang of boaters turned up at Mohr Island for “Giver on the River”, an annual summer fest with live music featuring Arnold Trudeau and Larry Chevrier.
