Last night, Parker and Johanna spent the evening at Business Link’s event “Small Business Week 2026: Small Business, Bold Moves” in Calgary. It was refreshing to hear from founders - not only about their successes in business - but more importantly what it looks like in reality to be an entrepreneur. Long hours, sacrifice, commitment, and passion. It was an inspiring evening!

BOLD MOVES, BIG CONNECTIONS & A WHOLE LOT OF AI FUN! What a fantastic evening celebrating Small Business Week at Business Link Alberta’s Bold Moves event, hosted at the newly opened Pendennis Wedding & Event Centre in downtown Edmonton! A HUGE thank you to Exmerce for sponsoring the In Your Face Photo Booth and helping us bring a little extra fun and creativity to the evening! Our AI photo experiences were a HUGE hit! I absolutely loved watching everyone try out the different options, laugh at their transformations and share their creations. It’s amazing how something as simple as a photo can bring people together, spark conversations and create lasting memories. Thank you to Business Link Alberta for bringing our entrepreneurial community together and to everyone who stopped by to have some fun with us! Great connections, great energy and some unforgettable faces! In Your Face Photo Booth More than photos. We create experiences!

Let’s keep Canadian businesses Canadian. 🇨🇦 On October 17, Venture for Canada brought together business owners, acquisition entrepreneurs, investors, lenders, advisors, policymakers, and ecosystem leaders in Calgary for Canada’s Succession Summit. As thousands of Canadian business owners prepare to retire, the decisions made over the coming years will shape more than just individual companies. They’ll influence jobs, local economies, and who owns the businesses that have helped build our communities. That’s why we brought the people closest to these challenges into one room. To examine what’s working, identify what’s missing, and explore how Canada can build a stronger ecosystem for Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA). From financing and policy to seller readiness and developing the next generation of business owners, the Summit created space for perspectives that don’t always meet at the same table. And while the event brought us together for one day, the ambition extends much further: helping Canada navigate this generational transition in a way that preserves businesses, creates opportunities for new owners, and strengthens our economy. As Peter Walker reminded us: “We’re going to do what we always do, care about each other and work together and that is the leverage we have as Canadians.” Thank you to our speakers, participants, partners, sponsors and supporters for contributing to this important national conversation. The Summit was just the beginning. Let’s keep Canadian businesses Canadian.

ACANEA – The Hiring Fair! Quel samedi incroyable! Le 29 Août, ACANEA a eu le plaisir d’organiser son tout premier salon de l’emploi — The Hiring Fair! Dans le cadre de notre mission visant à favoriser l’employabilité, nous avons réuni des organisations en période de recrutement ainsi que des personnes prêtes à explorer de nouvelles opportunités professionnelles. Mais The Hiring Fair, c’était bien plus qu’une occasion de trouver un emploi. C’était également un espace permettant aux entrepreneurs en devenir, aux professionnels, aux chercheurs d’emploi et aux membres de la communauté de se rencontrer, de réseauter, d’échanger des idées et de créer des liens professionnels durables avec différentes organisations. 🤝🏾 Nous tenons à exprimer notre sincère gratitude à tous nos exposants et partenaires qui ont consacré une partie de leur fin de semaine à venir à la rencontre de notre communauté, à présenter leurs opportunités et à échanger avec les participants. Et bien sûr, un immense MERCI à toutes les personnes qui ont participé! Votre enthousiasme, vos échanges, vos questions et votre énergie ont véritablement donné vie à cette première édition. Sans vous, ce salon n’aurait pas été le même! Nous sommes profondément reconnaissants envers toutes les personnes qui ont contribué, de près ou de loin, à la réussite de cet événement. En attendant la prochaine édition… 👀 Merci d’avoir fait partie de The Hiring Fair 2026! #ACANEA #TheHiringFair #SalonDeLEmploi #Emploi #OpportunitésProfessionnelles #RéseautageProfessionnel #Entrepreneuriat #ChercheursDEmploi #Edmonton #Alberta #ImpactCommunautaire

Well, it's official, YETI 2026 has come to an end. 🥲 As the summer wraps up, we are SO proud of these kids and all the work they have put in! They have been running their businesses for the last few months, learning all the steps and responsibilities that come with entrepreneurship, and their growth over the summer has been off the charts! YETI is evolving and growing as a program every year, but it wouldn't mean anything without all the incredible people who make it happen: YETI ran this year with the @parklandschooldivision Connections for Learning, as a summer school program, AND is coming back in the school year as a class. Thank you to everyone at CFL and the @parklandschooldivision who made this summer happen! We couldn't do this program without our incredibly generous sponsors, the @stonyplainab and Decker properties management. We also owe a huge thank you to our guest judges for the year-end pitch competition, Abdalla Mohamed from @businesslinkab , and Aiden from @green_stride_lawn_care , a YETI alumni and last year's High Achiever award winner! Thank you all for a fantastic summer, and we will see you back again next year! #Summer #YETI #YouthEntrepreneurs
