Having an entrepreneurial mindset isn't just for start ups - it's a driving force within organizations of all sizes. Whether you're part of a multi-generation family business or a large, established company, it's important to build a culture where people feel empowered to share ideas, take initiative, and demonstrate innovation.

In this Lunch & Learn, we'll hear from leaders who have helped spark entrepreneurial thinking in a variety of ways. They'll share how they've created spaces where teams can speak up, explore new approaches, and contribute meaningfully to the organization's growth - whether they were inheriting a legacy, reshaping an existing business, or creating something new altogether.

Join us to learn about industry insights, personal stories, and lessons learned on fostering creativity, building resilience, and nurturing a culture where everyone feels they can make an impact.

Moderated by, Jayde Kehoe, Brand Ambassador, Gem Cabinets and Jenna Johannesen, Marketing Manager, Park Lighting & Furniture, we will hear from experts:

Harpreet Toor, Owner/President, Active Homes
Tania Bosch, Founder & CEO, Bouwen Construction
Jim Storoschuk, General Manager, Lenbeth Weeping Tile
