MTL get their steps in
This Wednesday, close to 50 people in the Montreal team started the Framestore Stairs Challenge. The idea is to avoid taking the elevator as much as possible and use the stairs instead. The challenge will be taking place the entire Summer season. In only a day, the group of athletes managed to climb together the equivalent of the Grand Canyon. See you all in the staircase!
Some of the team also stopped by the ISART gala to see the graduation projects of the 2023 class.
