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. This program is designed to help rural business owners navigate the complex process of succession planning or exiting their businesses while also connecting buyers with sellers to ensure smooth transitions.  

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.
