🏒 We had our holiday gathering yesterday, and this year our activity was going to see a Remparts de Québec game. We all had a blast watching the game together, and we even had a visit from Champion, the Remparts' mascot, and Victor, the mascot of Université Laval's Rouge et Or. What a fun day!

We'd like to wish Noura Diaby, our accounting clerk, a happy birthday (a little in advance)! We hope you have a wonderful birthday weekend! 🎉
