PORCH x CSA Picnic
Kick off your Toronto Tech Week and summer with the PORCH x CSA Picnic!
Join us on Sunday, June 22nd, at the lovely Woodbine Beach Park (to be confirmed)!
We always talk about the importance of work-life balance, so turn that computer off and come unwind, play some cornhole, and enjoy the sunshine (hopefully) in Toronto.
Bring your picnic blankets, your favourite snacks, and your sunniest smiles.
