On #NationalInternDay, we put the spotlight on our fantastic interns who presented their Think Big projects this week, as they wrap up their TCHC experience. The Think Big projects are their opportunity to dive deep into key topics such as community-led businesses, economic security for seniors, and use of local assets. We're very proud of their efforts and achievements! 🙌🏻🧡

Keeping fire doors closed during a fire can save lives. Open doors allow smoke and fire to spread into other areas of the building. Closed fire doors help contain the fire, and prevents the fire from spreading into emergency exit pathways.
