The Undies, streamed live to our global network of Underknowners, was the highlight of an exciting week that also allowed us to bring several of our international staff to Underknown’s home city of Toronto so we could have a little fun with them in person, many for the first time due to the pandemic. With COVID screening protocols in place, it was a sight to behold having these like-minded (and fabulously dressed) explorers from around the world under the same roof.
