As the CV Social approaches its two year anniversary, we want to work toward being a better employer & supporting our team’s work-life balance.

So: congratulations to Heather McLeod on being employee of the month! Heather & her son got an all-expenses paid trip to Victoria BC as thanks for all her hard work. 😀

Says Heather: “We had a super fun weekend away, but it was hard missing out on all the fun events in the Columbia Valley those days. We’re happy to be home.”
