Navigating Burnout: How to Regulate and Restore Balance - Join in this interactive mental health and burnout workshop!

The pandemic has presented us with many challenges including the struggle of burnout and stressors to our mental and emotional wellbeing. With the continually evolving environment and regulatory changes from lockdowns, restricted hours, safety protocols, and the list goes on and on, we need to better identify and gain strategies for addressing burnout not only for ourselves but among those working at our organization.

Essentially, it’s a win-win situation for all.

Testers Wanted New Visitor Information Door Clings
As part of our modernization project we are testing a variety of ways to connect with consumers. Therefore we have made a small batch of easy to apply and remove window clings. We are looking for businesses to have these clings on their main door. When people arrive they see the word hello, and when they leave wording to encourage people to visit the tourism website.

If you are willing to test one of these door clings contact us. They can be affixed on the glass of your entrance door and are easily removed. Only 30 are available.

Thank you.
