Hooray for Halifax
The Halifax Office recently celebrated another successful year with its second Annual Awards Gala. More than 200 of our staff livened up the Marriott Hotel making the event the largest awards dinner to date. Our hosts for the evening; Duncan and Holly warmed up the spirited crowd with some comedy before 17 employees were called to the stage to receive awards in recognition of their stellar performance over the past year. A high energy dance and a fireworks show provided exclamation points to a spectacular evening and set the tone for another great year at Admiral.
Admiral Halifax hosts 3rd Annual Company Picnic
Admiral held its third annual company picnic on a hot sunny day in August on the shores of MacDonald Beach and over 200 our Admiral Family members took in all the fun events of the day. With their bellies full of picnic fare courtesy of Tarek's Café the children enjoyed a bouncy castle, face painting a magic show and juggling before they lined up for potato sac, egg and spoon and three legged races. Their parents cheered from the sidelines and then the staff lined up to dunk their manager with all proceeds from the event being donated to the IWK Children's Hospital. The teams then had a chance to flex their muscles in the grand finale; the Sales versus Renewals tug of war competition. The competition was particularly fierce as this year was the tie breaker with each department having laid claim to the Admiral Cup once before. It was a close competition as the department's teams were evenly matched but after a show of strength the Sales Team gained some extra ground and were the victors of the day; proudly receiving the cup.
A Spooktacular Halloween
The Sport and Social Committee proudly presented a Haunted House to ring in Halloween 2011 in the Halifax office. The committee did a phenomenal job transforming the break room into a frightening spectacle with pathways made up of bloody sheets, spider webs and hanging heads where our staff fought off zombies, witches and psychos. Brave souls who survived were rewarded with treat bags. Next up was the costume contest where staff sporting a myriad of costumes which included a pirate, Thor, a gecko, a wicked queen and other ghoulish costumes paraded about. A special prize bucket was given to each of the winners!
Twelve Months of Health and Wellness at Admiral
Ministry of Health (MOH) has had a fantastic year! We kicked off 2011 with our yoga classes and things quickly picked up by the summer with our first instalment of on-site massage- A huge hit with our staff!
In June, we encouraged our staff to take some time out for themselves. The Hair Studio was on site with prizes, free consultations and lots of sample products for guys and girls. They even offered free trims and flat iron services. It was such a hit that our staff have asked to have them back next year!
Disco Inferno
The Halifax Renewals had a groovy time at their Renewals party in March. The party was organized by the Top Ten Committee as a reward for the Department achieving their highest contribution rate ever as a site. They celebrated the old fashioned way ...seventies style. There were costumes ranging from go- go girls to Austin Powers. There were tons of prizes to be won; gift cards for everything from best costume to best joke and best dance. Everyone worked really hard together to achieve the departments goal and the party was a blast!
