CFD Welcome BBQ

Brave DGA executives Erik Fraunberger, Chris Duszynski , Nik Ewasechko and Steve Shielder faced the frigid temperatures to cook burgers and franks for the Foothills community. Their enthusiasm for the task was clearly visible from the sometimes large flames emanating from the grill. Braver still were the students who stood in a queue facing the flames and standing in the cold temperatures to get their burgers. The rest of the CFD executive committee was busy helping students find drinks salad and buns throughout the evening ensuring everyone was fed and a good time was had by all.

Tara Beattie, Associate Dean GSE, officially congratulated Bria Mele, Jiyao Qi, Mark Hofmeister, Tona Pitt, Kyla Brown, Rebecca Lang and Kyle Mayr on their successful defence in the past year. The CFD would like to congratulate you all one your wonderful accomplishments!
