Whether it’s funding anti-racism programs, addiction recovery, or food hampers for the hungry, for 65 years the Calgary Foundation has proudly supported the charitable community to address some of Calgary’s biggest challenges. Now, during this period of unprecedented urgent needs, Calgary Foundation renewed its commitment to building a healthy, vibrant, giving, caring, and resilient community.

And CPA Alberta. CPA Alberta represents more than 29,000 CPA’s – also known as Chartered Professional Accountants – across the province. CPA’s are more than number crunchers that love Excel spreadsheets. They are business leaders, finance experts, trusted advisors, and entrepreneurs. They work in many different industries, from film to fashion, from government to oil and gas. Long story short, CPA’s didn’t just break the mold, they made their own. CPA’s can help you spark your next big idea, pivot during difficult time, start your new business off on the right foot, and so much more. For an inside look at how Alberta CPA’s are supporting their clients through the pandemic, follow CPA Alberta on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or LinkedIn!

The amazing photos on their site reminded me of the incredible beauty we have just outside our doorstep here in Southern Alberta. Living here in Calgary, I feel fortunate to be just an hour or so away from the Canadian Rockies. Located in the southwest corner of the province near Pincher Creek, Christi and Brad Bustard are truly right in the foothills at their 3,000 acre working guest ranch. After renovating an existing residence into The Lodge, Thanksgiving Ranch started taking guests in the spring of 2018 with modern and luxurious amenities and some of the best scenery anywhere. I had a great visit with Brad last week and I’m excited to bring you our conversation here. Visit Thanksgiving Ranch online at www.thanksgivingranch.ca and they are on Instagram @thanksgivingranch and on Facebook at Thanksgiving Ranch.
