Getting Outdoors
Sunday, January 20th, 2008
Well it’s the time of year for resolutions and thinking up new and creative ways of staying excited about work and about life. One of the things we’ve been talking about is getting out as a group once a month for a hike, rock climbing adventure, or surfing expedition. We were all talking about how great it is to mix work with a little play once and again and as we’re all pretty outdoorsy guys it makes sense to augment hard work with some good fun. This is designed with three goals in mind:
- Promote outdoor lifestyles within the company
- Get to know each other better and build a greater sense of camaraderie
- Blue sky ideas while enjoying some good excercise
We plan to kick off the program in May this year. We may of course start a little earlier if we get a good weather window on a Friday.
Well I’ve finally made a decision to attend my first ever Green Drinks upcoming on the 11th of December. The green business network meets from 5-8pm down at the Canoe Club in downtown Victoria. My colleague Roger Colwill started the organization, being a passionate man with a very green thumb. Unfortunately Roger passed away this fall while I was away in South America so now I have taken it upon myself to join his network and contribute to the growing number of small businesses here in Victoria that are looking to make a change for the environment.
