With a grateful heart, we want to pause today to share some wonderful news about a very special member of our Casual Canoe family.
For more than two years, Janique Lagos has been a true leader on our team, guiding us with genuine kindness. Today, we are incredibly humbled and proud to share that Janique has been nominated for the 2026 Exemplary Customer Service Award via Business of the Year Awards.
This beautiful recognition is given to individuals who go above and beyond, making a lasting, positive impact on both our guests and our local community. For those who have visited us, you already know how she excels at hospitality. Whether she is welcoming you into our dining room with exceptional care or behind the bar curating one-of-a-kind cocktails that have become local favourites—like the Midnight Bloom and Peach Timber—Janique brings warmth to everything she does.
Please join us in sending the warmest congratulations to Janique on this deeply well-deserved honor. We are so incredibly blessed to have you on our team.
If Janique has ever brightened your evening or crafted your favourite drink, we would be so grateful if you shared your favorite memory or experience being served by her in the comments below! We would love for her to read them.
