New Year’s Eve – Goodbye 2021, Hello 2022

So that’s that.

2021 comes to an end tonight, and not a moment too soon for many people.

There have been some testing times over the last few twelve months thanks to circumstances out of our control, but a new year offers fresh hope, fresh opportunities, and a fresh start.

We asked a few of our teammates to share three things that they’re happy to leave behind in 2021, and three things they’re most looking forward to in 2022.

 

Julie Coluccio – General Merchandising Manager

Leave in 2021:

• My garden fails, specifically carrots that aren’t big enough to even nibble on.
• My sore knees – I started jogging this year, and my knees weren’t but they’re stronger now.
• Bennifer – enough already. (Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez for those who don’t know).

Looking forward to in 2022:

• Training for a half marathon – my brother challenged me to train with him.
• Season 4 of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. I can’t wait to see what happens to Midge and the gang.
• New rose garden in the middle of my front lawn. Less grass to mow and more flowers to enjoy.

 

 

Alex Berdichevsky – Production Planner

Leave in 2021:

• Covid19.
• Travel restrictions.
• Vancouver Canucks – they have been terrible this season.

Looking forward to in 2022:

• Travelling to see family.
• Sporting events with no restrictions.
• Continued success for SanMar Canada.

 

 

Chad MacLeod – Pricing Manager

Leave in 2021:

• The lack of international travel.
• Living alone.
• BC floods and landslides.

Looking forward to in 2022:

• My 50th birthday.
• My 30th anniversary at SanMar Canada.
• Getting married.

 

 

Jenna Freschi – Senior Marketing Assistant

Leave in 2021:

• Bad habits and routines I have picked up through working from home that don’t serve me
• Using my phone and social media as my safety blanket
• Regret for the things I didn’t end up doing and experiencing because of fear

Looking forward to in 2022:

• Seeing my niece, nephew and family again and giving my mom a big hug
• Planning my wedding
• Spending time with friends I haven’t been able to see in year

 

Now it’s time for you to get involved.

Happy New Year!
