<p><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#CCCCCC">This annual outing is always an event that tenants look forward to as it is a break for many from the busyness of the city and relax by a lake with access to a beautiful beach
and woods filled with nature trails. People enjoyed the swimming, hiking and lunchtime picnic, and many people pitched in to help those with mobility issues face some of the challenges nature can present.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#CCCCCC">It also created opportunities to speak with tenants who find it easier to connect with others in less formal settings, and to learn more about their interests and ideas.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#CCCCCC">As always the worry when planning outdoor events is the weather, but luck was on our side that day. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#CCCCCC">A good time was had by all!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#CCCCCC">In August tenants, staff and community partners enjoyed delicious bbqs cooked up by our in house bbq chef Clifford Clark!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
