As the winter holidays are fast approaching, snow has already fallen in Toronto, and my snow tires are on! I expect the time over Christmas and Hanukkah with your families will be fun-filled (even if they may not be relaxing!). Take advantage of the social gatherings we get to have this year and enjoy the togetherness with colleagues, friends, and most importantly, family during this festive season.
I’d like to extend an invitation for you to join me on January 17th (on Blue Monday) at the newly redesigned GlobalCare showroom in Downsview, Ontario (in person only) for my most recent accredited CEU called “Designing spaces with mental health and wellbeing in mind”. It is a 1-hour long course with the Health, Safety, Welfare designation. Email me for a Global showroom invite and RSVP through Global’s embedded link.
We hope you find the final monthly issue of Examine engaging and easy to read… starting in January, Examine will be quarterly. Happy Holidays!
