We’re passionate about supporting local businesses and empowering entrepreneurs to thrive. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our collaboration with Community Futures Highwood (CFH) on an exciting new initiative: ExitNavigator.

We are proud to announce that the first Big Heart recipient of 2025 is Solace Grief Support Society. Based in Alberta’s beautiful Foothills, Solace is on a mission to ensure that no one grieves alone. They offer professional, compassionate grief support and counselling services to individuals and families navigating the difficult journey of loss. With a deeply inclusive approach, Solace understands that there is no “one size fits all” way to grieve, and no set timeline for healing - each person’s experience is unique.
