Join us for a relaxed summer evening at Playfair Park!

Bring your favourite picnic dinner, a lawn chair or blanket, and come enjoy some time outdoors with fellow HR professionals. We'll provide sodas and light snacks, and we'll have a few casual lawn games on hand. Feel free to bring your own favourites too - bocce, frisbee, cards, or anything else that makes for a great evening in the park.

There’s no agenda, no presentations, and no pressure—just an opportunity to connect, unwind, and enjoy being together in community after the workday.

Whether you stay for a quick visit or settle in for the evening, we'd love to see you there.

What to Bring:

  • Your picnic dinner
  • A chair or blanket
  • Lawn games (optional)
  • A colleague or HR friend (optional)

Come as you are and enjoy good company, great conversation, and a summer evening outdoors.
