Year In Review

What can we say about 2020…. What a year it’s been. Along with many other small businesses, we’ve faced a barrage of obstacles brought on by COVID-19. From a provincial wide lockdown, strict regulations, back to another lockdown, we found ourselves up against challenges we could never have expected. But as 2020 comes to an end, we have to take a step back and be thankful for what we have and the things we’ve accomplished. Here, we recap some highlights throughout the year along with some of our recent tattoos from 2020.

Despite the bittersweet year that’s been 2020, highlights throughout the last 12 months remind us how lucky we are. We’re so thankful for all the opportunities and experiences we’ve had over the year but more importantly for our clients who’ve stuck with us through thick and thin. 2020 was no walk in the park but our clients commitment and dedication to our team made every day worthwhile.

Until next year, we wish everyone a safe and successful new year. Here’s to 2021!
