It’s time for moving on from the holidays and towards Auld Lang Syne and new year wishes. We’ve collected some personal and business reflections from our team to wrap up this past year while looking forward to the next, and we wanted to offer them to our readers as well. Through all of the ups and downs that life tends to bring, we continue to be grateful for connections made, experiences gathered, and lessons learned and shared. Thank you for being a part of the Portage Bay Solutions sphere. We wish you & your families a very Happy New Year!
