City of Victoria IT Department on the Green
A big thank you to the City of Victoria IT Department for renting out our facility recently. They are such a wonderful group, and they even helped a staff member celebrate their 50th birthday during their visit! We're already looking forward to hosting you all again next year.
Urban Development Institute on the Green (sort of)
While the weather was largely uncooperative the team at Urban Developement Institute soldiered through and based on the feedback still thoroughly enjoyed their time at the club. We consider them family as this is the fifth year in a row they've rented the club.
