Loved hosting the fantastic @SJC_College admin team for a fun gathering before the busy fall term gets going!
Nothing like ending the summer with a BBQ 🍔🌭 Our administrative team gathered last night over delicious food and conversation as we get ready for a busy month ahead! A perfect way to end the summer 🙌 #UManitoba #SJC #SJCEvents #SJCMembers #SJCCommunity
