Work culture today is about more than just getting the job done - it’s how we do it and who we do it with. It’s about taking a moment to step away from the desk, share a laugh, and build genuine connections with the people we work so closely with every day.
That’s why every other Thursday, our amazing volunteer committee pulls together something a little special - an office-wide game to shake things up, lift our spirits, and remind us that fun has a rightful place at work.
One of our all-time favourites? Boot pong.
Yes, boot pong. It’s a classic… with a twist and it's every bit as chaotic, ridiculous, and wildly fun as it sounds. Teams form, rivalries heat up, and trick shots fly (some land, some... well, not so much).
We’ve also been known to get into a bit of office golf. And with more games on the horizon, there’s always something new to look forward to.
To keep things exciting, every game contributes to a running scoreboard throughout the year. While the bragging rights are fun, there's also a final prize up for grabs for the winning team.
It’s all a part of how we live our values:
