Christmas Care Donation 2022

Each year the staff and Partners at Graham Scott Enns LLP participate in the annual St. Thomas and area Christmas Care program. GSE staff are encouraged to make donations of food and toys which are matched by the Partners. This year, we were able to raise over $1,000 in toys and food donations which will be distributed to in-need members of our community to help ensure that everyone has a happy holiday season! Thank you to everyone who helped contribute to the Christmas Care drive and thank you to Courtney and the rest of our Social Committee for organizing our participation in this worthy cause!

Railway City Road Races

The Health and Wellness committee at Graham Scott Enns LLP would like to congratulate and thank everyone who took part in The Railway City Road Races on September 25, 2022. The weather certainly did not cooperate, but as they say, it takes rain to make flowers grow and having the determination to run in the rain certainly builds character. GSE would like to give a special mention to Erin, Riley, Lucas, Emma and Oliver (children of GSE Partners and staff members) who also braved the weather to take part in the event.

Tax Party 2022

This past Monday marked the end of Personal Tax Season for us at Graham Scott Enns LLP. GSE marked the occasion with our usual end of tax season party. This year, we held our tax party at the wonderful Wildflowers Farm in St. Thomas. It was a great opportunity to socialize outside of the workplace and de-stress after a busy few months. There were lots of games, good food and great company. We’ve missed the opportunity to gather as a large group over the last two years, so we all enjoyed the opportunity to spend time together. A big thank you to Wildflowers Farm for hosting our party!
