The photos below are a work in progress as we manage to obtain more pics from those reluctant.

Josh and Jake Childs both grew up in the family business.  Jake is involved in most business decisions but is in pursuit of his dream job.  Josh is a third generation restaurant guy.  Rumour has it that Josh's son Ben might be joining the team this summer.

Deb Thomas has been with the family for more years than she cares to remember.  39 years to be exact.  She adapted well to her current role as waitress.  Previously, she was a cook and manager at the Oaks Inn.

Known as the blister (shows up when the work's all done), Chicken *&%, Old Dog, and Lou (Hulk rage), this old bugger is still kicking around, and occasional does some work.  Show here with Deb, Josh, Sam, Jake, Ben and Olivia at a family golf outing.

Tylene is one of the few staff that made the move with us from the Oak's.  Ty, her parents and husband were here working until midnight the day before we opened.  You never forget gestures like that.

Much like Ty, Christine made the move here from the Oaks.  She also works full time at Aar-kel.  Christine is our special event, go-to.  No other person we would rather have driving us nuts.  

Krista is part of the Childs family and part of the Goose family (god help you).  Heart of gold, but don't get in her way when she's busy.  When not at the Goose, Krista volunteers at the Legion, works at the Curling Club and hangs out with some Jake guy.

Alison returned from maternity leave in April.  Mother of two, Alison keep busy with her kids and her other business interests, while working full time here.  Great sense of humour and a filter that works occasionally.

Keegan is a second generation staffer, as his father and mother both worked for the family at one time.  Keegan has opted to stay back for one more year, so we are fortunate to have him with us until next August.

Parker is part of our A-team, which has been a blessing for us for 2 years.  Unfortunately for us, Parker is leaving for college in August.  Best of luck, Parker, we will miss you.

Hayden was too young when we she applied but we took a chance on her anyway, and we're glad that we did.  Hayden, just recently agreed to move into the cook department.

Definitely one of the busiest moms out there.  Dedicated to her daughter's sports, Nicole works at WDSS as well as here, while enjoying the role of cheerleader/transportation co-ordinator for her kids.

Nikki is coming up on her first anniversary here at the Goose.  We knew from the first interview, that she would fit in nicely here.  Much like Nicole, Nikki is a busy mom but manages it well.

When Hayley's not busy taking care of customers here at the Goose, you will probably find her working with her show horses.  Hayley was one of the final pieces to our team puzzle, and we are happy to have her.

AJ, aka Tony, aka aush bedai, aka lunch box, and other names that we can't mention here.  AJ has been with us for a long time and he is a permanent part of our family.  Always cheery, he is a great addition to our cook crew.  The picture pretty much sums up AJ.

Although a relative newcomer to the team, Nic didn't take long to fit in.  Witty, with a touch of crazy, sums of Nic, aka Denny.  Great worker and an even better human.  Nic is off to school in the fall but will be remaining on the team on a part-time basis.

Jeanette came to us in August of last year and she quickly became part of the Goose Family.  She has a great sense of humor and rarely gets frazzled.  Rumours of Jeanette's retirement have been greatly exaggerated.  Super J is staying on unless the deer conspiracy gets the best of her.

Shawn is second, only to Deb, in time spent working for the family.  There is very little Shawn can't do.  He handles most of the maintenance project along with a dozen other jobs.  He is our 'go to" guy.

Mischa just celebrated her fist year with us July 1 and unfortunately, she will heading off to school in September.  Mischas was part of our group hire that produced the best group of students ever.  Mischa is a great student, and will do well in College.  She will be missed.

Allen shows up every now and then to hang out and cook a little, while eating anything containing sugar.  Known as "I'm Allen", he has his dad's sense of humor and were always happy to have an Allen visit.

Pauline is an import from the mighty metropolis of Tupperville, where she cares for her mother.  Pauline has quickly adapted to the ways of the Goose and we are certainly happy to have her as part of our team.

Alyssa was working at the Oaks Inn Retirement Home when she made the move to join our team.  A great asset to our gang, Alyssa is wonderful with customers and an excellent team player.  When she's not busy at the Goose, she spends a lot of time with her man, Keegan.

With Carlos, we knew right away that he would fit in.  He's a team guy, he gives a shit and he's got a good sense of humour which is key to survival at the Black Goose. He had tough shoes to fill but he seems to be filling them quite nicely.
