Our First C.O.O.K Event

Power Properties

Oct 22

As our team continues to work remotely, we braved the snowy weather for our first C.O.O.K. event! Hopefully the first of many!

Meeting in an outdoor space allows our team members to safely interact while maintaining social distancing. All while supporting local “Community” restaurants.

This month we ordered the infamous Dutch pancakes from the Pfanntastic Pannenkoek Haus located in Calgary’s SW. Followed by a snowball competition, where the winner took home a gift basket of wine from Una Pizza + Wine.
