Clip ‘n Climb Saskatoon

“Healthy, challenging fun for everyone” is our motto and we have upheld this ideal through these troubled times. We were thrilled to reopen last summer after a brief pause. Using biosecurity principles, we altered our procedures to ensure guests and staff stay safe without compromising fun. With our cohort bookings, controlled crowd flow, enhanced cleaning protocols, and large spaces to physically distance (right, left and straight up!), climbers of all ages can exercise and play safely. We are proud to continue to provide options such as climbing camps and classes, drop-in climbs, birthday/staff parties, and private arena rentals. www.cncyxe.ca

SREDA

Focus Friday: The pursuit of productivity (and magic).

Times change. The Monday to Friday, “9 to 5” model is based on an idea from the industrial revolution, when productivity was about working longer and harder. Today, you need productivity and creativity to succeed. With COVID changing so much about work, SREDA introduced something I had been mulling over for a while: Focus Fridays. On Fridays, we limit internal meetings and emails, allowing time for flow and focus (on professional and personal priorities). By bettering ourselves as individuals, we’re making a better team and therefore a better, more productive SREDA. Learn more here: www.SREDA.com
