Derek Gent, Christine Maasen and Steve Halliday on their office holiday traditions. Derek Gent, executive director, Vancity Community Foundation “Our annual e-card campaign allows members to voice an opinion on the priorities we need to address to help make our community a better place. We then make a financial contribution on their behalf to support work in the area they choose.” Christine Maasen, SVP human resources, Silverbirch Hotels & Resorts

“We started a choir. Last year we only performed in our corporate office, but this year we’re going to go to retirement homes and to anybody that is keen to hear us. Our first rehearsals last year were hilarious.”
“We kick off the season on December 2 with carol singers and live piano music to put everyone in a festive mood. Hot chocolate is served throughout the day and children are invited to post letters to the North Pole in our bronze lobby letterbox.”
