Yesterday’s crisp, February afternoon marked one of the firm’s family-friendly social events. Though the days grow longer and March creeps around the corner, Payette staff enjoyed the final moments of winter ice-skating at 401 Park.

For those who did not want to venture onto the ice, there was a wide range of activities on less slippery ground. Some huddled around the outdoor heaters enjoying drinks while others entered the Time Out Market for a bite (or many!) to eat. And of course, there was joy and community simply from gathering with colleagues and loved ones.

As we look forward to warmer seasons and new projects, it is important to take a moment to pause, take a break, and enjoy the present and the people around us.
