2014 Year In Review

Greenwin Cares cont'd

In the News

Greenwinites are known for having big hearts and giving back to their community. But in 2014, we really took it to the next level. From getting soaked in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge to spiking it at the SickKids HeatWave volleyball tournament, the Greenwin family was proud to raise funds and awareness for some of our favourite causes.

The summer of 2014 saw us usher in another successful Greenwin Charity Golf Classic, featuring Toronto Maple

Leafs alum Darcy Tucker and team announcer Joe Bowen. The fun day was

not hampered by a little bit of rain in the afternoon, and we ended up raising

lots of money for the Israel Tennis Center and the San Romanoway

Revitalization Association. Team Greenwin won big at the Federation of Rental Housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO)

MAC Awards at the end of 2014. We were proud to take home the top award for Advertisement Excellence - Social Media (accepted by Jessica

Green) and we received a nomination for Leasing Specialist of the Year

(Ian Ford and John Burns).

When did you start working with Greenwin?I first started working for Greenwin in July 2013 as a RGI Administrator for our Kehilla portfolio. I then transitioned into my current role in December 2013. What is your current role?I am the Senior Marketing & Leasing Coordinator. What do you do when you start feeling overwhelmed on the job? I take a few moments to myself, starting by taking a 10 minute break to de-stress. I then revisit all of my tasks and organize them by priority. Then, if I feel I need assistance or an extension on any tasks and I've done all I can to the best of my ability, I will speak with my manager to arrange for help or discuss alternative due dates for certain tasks that can be pushed back.

Q&Aamanda

boyce

This month, our Q & A is with Amanda Boyce, Greenwin's Senior Marketing & Leasing Coordinator.

If you could learn to do anything, what would it be?I would like to learn a new language, starting with Spanish. If you could meet anyone, living or dead, who would you meet?My mom’s mother. If you could try out one role within the company that is completely different from yours, what would it be? I would like to try being a Project Manager.

What do you like most about working at Greenwin?I love the camaraderie between all of the departments. Everyone works as a team and makes you feel included.

Kris’ Korner: Have you been able to stick to your New Year's Resolutions? February can be a tough time to see a resolution through, particularly if it involves working out. The days are cold, the sun sets at 5pm, and most of us just want to curl up on the couch. There are ways to sneak in a little fitness around the office, however, so why not try some of these tips? Let's "deskercise"!

❶ Tap your toes on the floor while you're sitting at your desk❷ While seated, straighten one or both legs and hold for a few seconds❸ Shrug your shoulders and hold for 5 seconds, then release❹ Notice yourself sinking into your chair? Practice perfect posture for

a few minutes each hour❺ Walk, walk, walk! Take a stroll around the cubicles or take a 15 minute

break and head outside for some fresh air

Adding little bits of fitness to your day will be easier than you think. If you see me spinning in my chair, I'm just working on my obliques.

Until next month!

Kris
