Atom AA Supports Operation Christmas Child
In the true spirit of the holiday season, the Atom AA team took some time as they do each year to remember how lucky they truly are and give back to those in need.  This year, they chose a charity with global impact.

The players and moms (no coaches or dads allowed!) took an afternoon in the NMHA boardroom at the Magna Centre to fill shoeboxes with thoughtful gifts for children in need overseas.  Each family graciously donated items and the boxes were filled with donations including hygiene items, school supplies, toys and games.  Each family also donated the funds required to ship the boxes overseas.

Since 1990, Operation Christmas Child has collected and distributed over 135 million shoebox gifts worldwide. In 2016, Canadians donated 664,525 Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes for hurting children around the world.

During the holidays and any time of the year, it’s important to take stock, do a priority re-set and be truly thankful for what we have and what we all have to offer to those in need.  The Atom AA families are proud to get involved and give back.

Sociable Pub
The instant you walk through the door to hand-picked Atlantic décor and foot stomping music, you can tell The Sociable is a pub like no other. And the best is yet to come: down home service, a fully stocked bar and authentic East Coast cuisine, freshly made from scratch using quality ingredients sourced directly from the Maritimes. The Sociable Pub is the brainchild of couple Lenny Occhiogrosso and Lynn Gallant. Lenny, spent 24 years running Richmond Hill’s landmark Archibald’s pub but came out of retirement to bring the vision for The Sociable Pub to reality. Born and raised in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Lynn has always loved working in pubs. As a matter of fact, Lenny and Lynn spent 15 years at Archie’s together, with Lynn serving tables and Lenny running operations and, at times lending a hand in the kitchen or behind the bar. The Sociable is a dream come true for both of them: a true Maritime pub unlike anything Ontario’s ever seen before.
