Statistics Canada IT Staff Lunch

Current and former IT staff of Statistics Canada meet for lunch every six months. Before May 2019, the lunches were held at the Carlingwood Restaurant. The lunch was held at Kristy's in May 2019, and at KS on the Keys in November 2019. In October 2021, we were able to restart the series, moving to Cobrie's restaurant in the Carlingwood Mall. This is at the same location as the previous restaurant.

Update 2022-10-14: The Cobrie restaurant is closed. We then moved to the Mill Street Brew Pub at 555 Wellington Street (near the War Museum) on Thursday May 18th, at 11:00 am.

In 2023, we moved again to the "Big Rig" on Iris Street.

The most recent lunch was held on October 17th, 2024,, at noon, at the "Big Rig" on Iris Street, close to IKEA.

The next lunch will also be held at the "Big Rig", on Thursday May 15th at noon.

This is a collection of photographs taken at the lunches.

Mike Jeays took these pictures - at lunch time of course. They were taken some time in the eighties, every two weeks or thereabouts. Click here
