Leadership Wood Buffalo opening retreat ✅

Last week our 20th anniversary cohort got together for the first time for their two-day opening retreat!

Day one was spent getting to know each other and learning about the personal strengths results of the group. Understanding the people you work beside and how they think, feel, and behave, is foundational to leadership.

On day two, the group ventured out in the community to tour some nonprofit organizations! Thank you for taking the time to teach this inspired and curious group of learners: Fort McMurray SPCA JSYF (JUSTIN SLADE YOUTH FOUNDATION) Keyano Theatre 🥰
