Holiday spirit filled the Atrium this season. ❄️ The pay office painted a winter scene and the customer service centre made Christmas tree shapes from paper snowflakes. Along the window sill, gifts were collected for residents of a seniors’ care home. Well done, all! 👏

December 6 we remember the 14 women murdered at Montréal’s École Polytechnique. They were students whose futures were stolen, and their deaths still echo across the country. It’s a reminder of why safety, respect and zero tolerance for violence matter everywhere.
