Work hard, play hard, as the saying goes. Team GMD loves a good challenge, whether it’s solving a business problem through an integrated campaign or it’s a California Kickball game for bragging rights. This summer we did all of that and more.
Afternoon Mingler
Outdoor Yoga
Every week at Jonathan Rogers Park, the GMD Yoga Club busted out a few Sun Salutations and other poses while cultivating our inner calm. Working in a fast-paced environment, having a lunch-hour reset was the perfect medicine. Practice makes perfect!
Annual Cs game
Shoreline Cleanups
Sports Day
We had competitors from GMD, Vancouver Is Awesome, Eastward Media and various editorial departments. Plus, there were two food trucks on site!
Teams competed in classic games including egg-and-spoon race, water balloon toss, mini golf and blindfolded hula hoop. All of it came down to a highly competitive game of California Kickball between two teams, the Tamagotchis and the Green Machine, with the Green Machine taking top honours, bragging rights, the trophy and a half day off.
There was also an ’80s-’90s theme for sporting attire—and the attendees did not disappoint! Pablo Narvaez took Best Dressed honours for his total commitment to the theme, with an angular haircut and retro moustache.
Many thanks to everyone who took part and worked so hard to plan the event, and especially to the organizing committee led by Michelle Bhatti.
