I almost forgot to send this email. I’ve been too busy reading match previews of World Cup games. Today, it’s Canada versus Belgium. It’s the men’s first appearance in the global competition in 36 years! A lot of us have a lot to be excited about. Beyond football, there’s even more to cheer for. We’re just one week away from our final tech industry social of the year, which is being hosted with CBRE Canada’s High Technology Facilities Group on November 30 at Yaletown Brewing. Let’s assume when I see you there we’ll be cheers-ing to the fact that Canada has made it to the knockout rounds. See you soon.
