Here at JM&A we firmly believe that taking time to relax is crucial to being a happy, healthy and productive workplace, so we decided to hold an office social this past Friday.  Enjoying what may turn out to be the last great skating day on the canal this season, JM&A staff took to the ice for some bonding, exercise and fresh air (and, okay, a few BeaverTails).   Although there were a couple wipe-outs, everyone stepped off the ice in high spirits, not least because we were heading into a long weekend!

We could not have asked for a bluer sky, nicer ice, or a more beautiful Ottawa day

Getting our skates on with excitement and, in Cara’s case, severe trepidation

We aren’t sure what’s going on here but despite appearances we were having fun
