JM&A & CUPE Local 503 Barbecue 2016

Although we’ve already had weeks of toasty summer heat, yesterday we marked the imminent beginning of the summer season with our annual 1505 Carling Avenue barbecue! There were about 45 people out enjoying the blue sky, sunshine and tasty grilled items, including the JM&A staff, folks from CUPE Local 503, the friendly people of Westboro Photonics, at least 3 dogs, and a few special guests.  We always love to get outdoors and chat with friends, so it was a great way to kick off the summer!
