Her work has been recognized provincially and nationally, including being named to BCBusiness Top 30 Under 30 and receiving Executive of the Year from the Chamber of Commerce Executives of Canada.

We had such a wonderful time at the Merritt Christmas Parade! 🎅 It was a joy to see so many smiling faces along the route as we handed out candy (even though we ran out quicker than expected!) We’ll be sure to come even better prepared next time! 😉

Thank you, Merritt, for the festive spirit! 🎄✨
