20th Annual Employee Recognition Evening

NGPS staff from Alberta Beach to Valleyview gathered this past Friday, October 4 to honour the commitment and careers of our fellow staff members at the division's annual Employee Recognition Evening. A round of applause, a shared meal and the longstanding tradition of the trustee-manned ice cream bar brings us together each year to recognize the amazing people who make up NGPS!
