✨ Farewell (for now!) to our amazing Edwards School of Business, University of Saskatchewan interns ✨ Over the past 8 months, Tina, Dawson, and Viktor have brought fresh ideas, curiosity, and a whole lot of energy to our team. From tackling big projects to jumping in wherever help was needed, they’ve left their mark in more ways than one. 💡 Interns really do make the coffee stronger, the brainstorms brighter, and the office a whole lot livelier - and these three did just that. As they head back to school, we’re cheering them on for all the big things ahead. Thank you, Tina, Dawson, and Viktor for making your time here unforgettable - we’ll miss you and can’t wait to see where your journeys take you next. 💚
