Summer’s here, so a lot of the Toronto-based folks had a great (socially distant) picnic! Pizza Spikeball: a great combo 😎

While various government actions were being assessed for their ability to support tech during COVID-19, commercial rent remained an immediate pressure. It's amazing that @oneeleven_111 @Siriagrell took immediate action to offer 2 months of rent abatement to tenants!
