Betty Abbott, owner and broker at Abbott Realty, was born and raised in Maple Creek. Together with associate broker Kelsey Huery, this mother-daughter duo helps individuals and families make Maple Creek their home, too.  

Huery knew from a young age that she wanted to work in real estate, and recalls watching her mother study for her real estate licensing many years ago.  

Located within view of the stunning Rocky Mountains, just a 45-minute drive to Calgary’s downtown and minutes north from Cochrane, growth continues for MonTerra – a thriving neighbourhood nestled between Cochrane Lake and East Lake that’s actively drawing people from across Canada.

Byron Manastyrski is Concierge for MonTerra on Cochrane Lake Phase II, which is already 61% developed. He says people are drawn to build and live in this up-and-coming community because of its oversized lots, nature pathways and panoramic mountain views.

It was a love for design and commitment to her community that inspired Kim Puddicombe to launch her new business. As of this month, KIMBO Print will be serving Portage la Prairie and the surrounding area with custom printed apparel and promotional items.

Puddicombe says it was the right time to turn her creativity into a business.

“I was in the potato industry for 20 years, and I decided to take a different path,” she reflects. “I thought to myself, ‘What a perfect time to test the waters in this business’.”

Since its foundation, Swift Current has been at the core of a large farming community, a city many have relied on to provide the essentials needed to keep their operation running smoothly.

Since 1929, Armstrong Implements has been a part of that local fabric, supporting local farmers and helping them build a life, and career, to last generations.

For the last two years, the team at Humboldt Co-op Agro has been planning something big! 

Their new 6,000-tonne fertilizer storage facility is pretty hard to miss. You’ve probably seen it through various stages over the last year, and wondered what could possibly take up that much space. Is it a lumber shed? New condos? A mysterious warehouse, perhaps?

The secret’s out – the new Humboldt Co-op Fertilizer Shed is officially open! 

“It’s a really unique experience for kids to get away from home, get away from distractions and all the things that they do regularly. Camp is a great place for kids to get outside, be in nature, and do some activities that they wouldn’t normally get to do.”  

Not every box of chocolates is the same. If you’re someone who appreciates good chocolate, you know that some are barely worth your time.
