<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wegouda</h2>



<p>Location: Vancouver</p>



<p>Since 2021, Wegouda has been making cheese &amp; charcuterie boxes. We believe cheese makes the world go round; the only thing flat is the cookies and crackers we sell.</p>



<p>We ensure that each box is fresh, seasonal and personalized to your preferences. What sets Wegouda apart is our dedication to sourcing the finest ingredients; organic and local whenever possible, and ensuring that each bite reflects our passion for bringing people together. From carefully curated cheeses to artisan-cured meats, every element in our boxes and boards is a testament to our uncompromising standards. Crackers and biscuits are always served on the side because… nobody likes soggy crackers.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sasha Milena Filipovich &#8211; Author</h2>



<p>Location: Kamloops</p>



<p><strong>Cal Has Three Legs is an award-winning children’s book by BC author, Sasha Milena Filipovich.</strong></p>



<p><strong>About the Book</strong></p>



<p>Cal is not an ordinary dog. Cal is different. Cal has three legs instead of four. One day, he goes to the park to discover that the dogs there do not want to play with him because he has three legs. Cal is determined to find his missing leg so the dogs will play with him.</p>



<p>Will he find what he&#8217;s looking for? Join Cal the three-pawed pup on a humorous and touching journey to find his missing leg.</p>



<p><strong>Author Bio</strong></p>



<p>Throughout her life, Sasha has been telling stories using different mediums with dance, film, and writing. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from Cal State Long Beach and shortly after rescued Cal. </p>



<p>They immediately became inseparable.</p>



<p>Cal has inspired everyone he meets with his quirkiness and resiliency. Sasha hopes this book encourages children and adults to love who they are and embrace their unique qualities. Sasha lives in Kamloops, BC, with her husband, Nate; her daughter, Chloe Ray; and, of course, her pal, Cal.</p>



<p><strong>All Canadian: </strong>I&#8217;m a local author from Kamloops, BC. The illustrator of the book is from Vancouver, BC and the company we used to self-publish is based in Victoria, BC (Tellwell Publishing).</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cathy Burrell</h2>



<p>Location: Kelowna</p>



<p>A memoir about growing up in Calgary, Alberta, and after my father’s bankruptcy being abruptly moved to Yellowknife NWT when I was 10 years old. My mother was a Ukrainian immigrant and I flew each summer while I lived in Calgary to visit my mother’s big Ukrainian family. The memoir is dedicated to Baba.</p>



<p>Our country is unique, and so are our stories. Many people experienced a big move in their young life, but not many moves North! This book is relatable on many levels, most of all, a look back on the people who raised you. You may have not had my parents, or family situation, but I know reading it will give you a reason to think about yours…</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Focus K9</h2>



<p>Location: Victoria</p>



<p>At Focus K9, we do more than train dogs, we bridge the gap between chaos and calm, confusion and clarity. We specialize in dogs that others turn away — the overly friendly, the under-socialized, the anxious, and the reactive ones, guiding them toward balance through a uniquely tailored approach that’s as compassionate as it is effective.</p>



<p>Our training philosophy is built around individualization. Every dog and owner team receives a plan designed to fit their lifestyle, communication style, and goals. From private lessons to structured “Training Outings,” every detail is intentional, but it’s our socialization program that truly sets us apart. Developed and refined through years of hands-on experience, our classes teach real-world neutrality, confidence, and control in environments most trainers can’t replicate.</p>



<p>We’ve built a community where owners feel supported and dogs learn to thrive, not just obey. Beyond training, we offer professional pet sitting and walking services for all temperaments, ensuring continuity, structure, and care that extends beyond the lesson.</p>



<p>At Focus K9, we don’t just train dogs, we transform relationships and build community. Because the real joy isn’t in perfection, but in partnership.</p>



<p><em>&#8220;We believe professional dog training should be accessible, not extravagant. Our goal is to provide affordable luxury services — combining structure, empathy, and balance to help owners truly enjoy life with their dogs again.&#8221; </em>&#8211; Sydney Lemiski, Focus K9</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wild Roots Botanical</h2>



<p>Location: Vanderhoof</p>



<p>Formulated and manufactured in Northern BC, Wild Roots Botanical brings professional-grade natural skin support to Canadian families and their animals. Our flagship product, Nature’s Skin Support, was born from desperation when our beloved Bernese Mountain Dog developed severe urine burns during recovery from a spinal injury. What began as a hot spot formula became an unexpected solution for his diaper rash crisis, evolving into a carefully crafted botanical formula that helps address hot spots, skin irritations, minor wounds, and various dermatological challenges across multiple species.</p>



<p>Nature’s Skin Support combines traditional botanical wisdom with modern formulation techniques, featuring carefully selected extracts of calendula, plantain, marshmallow root, and other botanicals. Our unique multi-species formula is safe for dogs, horses, livestock, humans, cats, and chickens, offering gentle yet effective support for sensitive skin, inflammatory conditions, and everyday skin health maintenance.</p>



<p>What sets us apart: 11.2% pure botanical extract concentration with an all-natural preservation system using only apple cider vinegar and colloidal silver.</p>



<p>Each batch is produced following rigorous quality standards, using a natural preservation system and sustainable sourcing practices. Fully compliant with Health Canada regulations, our products reflect our commitment to safety, efficacy, and transparency. From crisis to discovery, from hot spot solution to multi-purpose formula—Wild Roots Botanical represents the power of nature, backed by purpose and proven through experience.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​</p>

<p><strong>KELOWNA, BC &#8211; </strong>WeBC today announced the release of its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Case Study, a report examining barriers and opportunities for greater inclusion among entrepreneurs in British Columbia.</p>



<p>Developed in partnership with research consultancy AND Implementation and funded by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) under the Women Entrepreneurship Strategy, the report is now available to organizations and the public.</p>



<p>“We wanted to understand the real experiences of entrepreneurs in our community and share our learning journey so other organizations can do this work alongside us,” said Shauna Harper, CEO of WeBC. “Entepreneurs in BC are incredibly diverse, and we’ve learned that the resiliency required to overcome barriers makes for great entrepreneurial skills. This report is both a reflection of WeBC&#8217;s accessibility and an invitation for organizations to join us in advancing equity and belonging.”</p>



<p>Serving over 24,000 business owners annually, WeBC undertook this study to better understand the real experiences of women, non-binary, and gender-diverse entrepreneurs, as well as Indigenous, immigrant, and rural business owners. The research included surveys, interviews, and focus groups with a broad range of respondents, ensuring diverse perspectives and lived experiences were represented.</p>



<p>Rather than providing a plug-and-play toolkit, the report offers a framework for discovery—sharing WeBC’s learning journey and making its commitments public.</p>



<p>Shauna Harper added, “It’s not a plug-and-play solution. We’re sharing our process, our discoveries, and our commitments so other organizations can reflect, adapt, and build more inclusive ecosystems in their own way.”</p>



<p>The full report is available at <a href="https://staging.we-bc.ca/online_resources/webc-dei-case-study-report-building-belonging-in-bcs-entrepreneurial-ecosystem/">go.we-bc.ca/DEICaseStudy</a></p>

<p>Location: Victoria</p>



<p>The Victoria Latin Dance Association (VLDA) is a local non-profit organization entirely run by passionate volunteers dedicated to building community, connection, and cultural appreciation through the joy of Latin dance ????????. We believe dance is more than movement—it’s a way to bring people together, celebrate diversity, and create lasting friendships.</p>



<p>Our mission is to make Latin dance accessible, inclusive, and fun for everyone in Victoria, regardless of age or experience level. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned dancer, VLDA offers opportunities to learn new styles, connect with others, and experience the vibrant rhythms of Latin music in a welcoming, supportive environment.</p>

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Monthly Indoor Socials — Held on the last Sunday of every month from October 2025 to May 2026, featuring lively music, themed dress-up nights, and a warm, community vibe.</li>



<li>Introductory dance lessons at select socials to help new dancers feel comfortable and confident.</li>



<li>Special Christmas Dinner &amp; Dance — A heartwarming celebration for community members and the public who may not have family or friends to share the holidays with. This event features a fully catered and serviced turkey dinner, with vegan and vegetarian options available.</li>
</ul>



<p><em>&#8220;What makes our service unique is the warm, community-driven atmosphere our volunteers create at every event. Unlike commercial dance venues, VLDA socials are hosted entirely by passionate volunteers who genuinely care about each guest’s experience. We have Taxi Dancers and Welcome Ambassadors ready to greet newcomers, introduce them to others, and help everyone feel comfortable and confident on the dance floor. From the moment you arrive, you’ll experience genuine connection, encouragement, and inclusion—making our socials not just about dancing, but about belonging.&#8221;</em> &#8211; Victoria Latin Dance Association</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">River Haven Farm Ltd.</h2>



<p>Location: Pitt Meadows</p>



<p>Nestled along the river in Pitt Meadows, River Haven Farm is a sanctuary where joy takes the shape of connection between people, horses, and nature. Through equine-facilitated conscious leadership, mental wellness, and team-building programs, we help individuals and organizations slow down, breathe, and rediscover what truly matters.</p>



<p>From corporate retreats that spark authentic collaboration to wellness gatherings and women’s circles that invite reflection and renewal, every experience at River Haven is intentionally curated to bring people back to themselves. Our gentle herd of horses—each with a unique story and spirit—serve as powerful mirrors, helping guests cultivate trust, presence, and emotional well-being.</p>



<p>This season, the joy we “sell” isn’t found on a shelf. It is felt in the quiet moments shared with a horse, the laughter of teammates around a fire, and the gratitude that lingers long after leaving the farm.</p>



<p>When you shop local and support River Haven Farm, you’re giving the gift of joy, healing, and human connection—something the world needs more than ever.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Woodland Hillside</h2>



<p>Location: Trail</p>



<p>Woodland Hillside utilizes local, rescued wood to create products from keychains to live-edge furniture. This husband-and-wife team from the West Kootenays works with dead-standing, fallen and &#8216;danger&#8217; trees to create all the products they craft. Each piece—whether a custom keychain, serving board or piece of furniture—is made with sustainability and community support in mind. </p>



<p><em>&#8220;We work with local organizations, teams and businesses to support them and create products at discounted prices. We bought an old building in our community that we are revitalizing to be part of the work to make our downtown better. It is important for us to be community-minded as we grow our business.</em></p>



<p><em>The fact that we use local rescued wood, from dead-standing tree to products, sets us apart. We have been nominated for a green business award through our local Chamber for the work we are doing.&#8221; </em>– Melissa Woodward</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Atome Bakery</h2>



<p>Location: Vancouver</p>



<p>Atome Bakery makes artisan bread and pastries accessible to everyone through a unique bake-from-proof method. Unlike parbaked or fully baked frozen products, our dough is frozen at peak fermentation, so customers can bake real sourdough bread and viennoiseries fresh at home with bakery-quality results.</p>



<p>We deliver a curated selection of ready-to-bake sourdough loaves, baguettes, croissants, pains au chocolat, waffles, and pasta directly to customers’ doors. Each item is crafted with natural ingredients, slow fermentation, and zero additives: the same standards used by top artisan bakeries.</p>



<p>Atome Bakery is redefining frozen baking through its bake-from-proof method: a process where dough is frozen right after proofing, not parbaked. This preserves the full flavor, texture, and aroma of artisan bread, allowing customers to bake real sourdough at home with bakery-quality results in minutes.</p>



<p>Our custom-designed Atome pan ensures perfect baking in any home oven, making it easy for anyone to achieve a golden crust and airy crumb every time.</p>



<p>Unlike conventional frozen breads that trade taste for convenience, Atome’s process keeps fermentation alive, delivering a genuine “from bakery to home” experience. Every sourdough is made with natural ingredients, long fermentation, and no additives, combining craftsmanship with modern convenience.</p>



<p>Through our direct-to-consumer subscription model and frozen logistics, we make artisan baking accessible and scalable across Canada. Customers can fill their freezers with ready-to-bake sourdough and pastries that bring the bakery experience home. Fresh, effortless, and always exceptional.</p>



<p>Atome Bakery is unique because it merges culinary authenticity, thoughtful design, and innovation to make everyday bread extraordinary.</p>

<p>Location: Salmon Arm</p>



<p>Mindful FÜD is a plant-based food company on a mission to make sustainability delicious. We’re turning rescued Canadian apples into something extraordinary — an award-winning, certified organic vegan honey alternative that’s kinder to the planet (and the bees!). Our signature products, BeeMindful Hunnie and BeeMindful Hunnie Hot offer the same sweetness and versatility as honey, but without compromise. Every jar helps reduce food waste, protect pollinators, and support local farmers &#8211; proving sustainability can taste amazing.</p>



<p>We’ve reimagined what honey can be: 1:1 replacements for honey, maple syrup, or agave that never crystallize, pour beautifully, and taste incredible. From drizzling on waffles to glazing wings, our Hunnies are as versatile as they are sustainable.</p>



<p>Proudly crafted in BC and now available in 400+ stores across Canada, Mindful FÜD has been recognized nationally for innovation and environmental impact &#8211; including winning Canada Post’s “Going Green” award and being named one of The Peak’s Top Emerging Leaders.</p>

Every jar of BeeMindful Hunnie carries that spirit of gratitude and the reminder that together, we can build something sustainable and meaningful.&#8221; – Venessa Stonehouse, <em>Mindful FÜD</em></em></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Soul Sole Bodywork and Wellness</h2>



<p>Location: Quathiaski Cove</p>



<p>I provide a unique and highly effective massage therapy treatment, in which I use my feet to massage my clients. This modality of massage is an ancient Ayurvedic treatment from the south of India. It allows the practitioner to do long sweeping massage strokes that span the whole body. This helps the body to relax and receive deeper tension release. The practitioner can distribute weight and pressure depth by use of a rope hung overhead. The treatment actually stretches the muscles and can penetrate as deeply or as gently as the client prefers. The foot perfectly matches the contours of the body’s muscles, allowing for ease of tension release.</p>



<p>Massage delivered by foot pressure is very rare in the western world. Most people are very nicely surprised by it’s effective nature and how great they feel afterwards.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Collective Alchemy</h2>



<p>Location: Whistler</p>



<p>Shannon’s work is rooted in the belief that coming home to yourself is the most powerful journey you can take. As a certified Breathwork Facilitator, Yoga Nidra Instructor, and Trauma of Money Coach, she weaves together somatic practices, nervous system support, and subconscious healing to guide others into deeper connection, inner peace, and embodied self-trust. Giving you permission to let go of what is holding you back and keeping you stuck in out-dated patterns, beliefs, behaviours and stories. Through various techniques, she helps you expand the capacity of your nervous system to receive more, through both, times of dysregulation and regulation. If you are seeking more money, love, health, career, relationships, joy, clarity, freedom &#8211; she can help. She believes in cultivating inner growth for outer greatness, helping you bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be.</p>



<p>Shannon’s devotion lies in helping others reconnect to what truly matters: calm in the chaos, clarity through the confusion, and confidence in the quiet knowing within. Her offerings are a reflection of these ethos &#8211; spaces of soulful reconnection, community, and aligned action.</p>



<p>She works with people both in-person and online &#8211; 1:1, workshops (both public and private), corporate retreats and workshops, retreats and a 6-module course for personal transformation.</p>



<p>&#8220;<em>I am a huge proponent in empowering people to feel confident, clear and capable. I bridge the practical with the profound &#8211; helping people understand how their body and mind respond to life and then and guiding them to rewire their system to feel calm, confident, capable and fully alive &#8211; both through the calm and the chaos.</em> </p>



<p><em>What sets my work apart is how it blends nervous system regulation with expansion. It’s not just about healing what’s been, it’s about reprogramming your body, mind and heart to hold more of what you desire: love, money, joy, freedom, health, peace, purpose and possibility. It&#8217;s about helping people feel alive, building a life they can&#8217;t wait to wake up to each morning.</em>&#8221; Shannon Frame, The Collective Academy</p>

<p>Location: Burnaby</p>



<p>Mujen Community offers transformative 1-on-1 sessions and group experiences designed to help you reconnect with your inner clarity, creativity, and calm. Through a blend of Reiki, Conscious Connected Breathwork, Meditation, and Mentorship, Jennifer guides clients to release stress, restore balance, and rediscover their sense of purpose.</p>



<p>Each session is personalized to meet you where you are, whether you’re seeking emotional healing, creative inspiration, or deeper self-understanding. Reiki works on an energetic level to restore harmony and support the body’s natural healing process. Breathwork helps clear emotional blocks and expand awareness. Meditation reconnects you to your inner voice, while Mentorship offers practical and intuitive guidance to bring your dreams and ideas to life.</p>



<p>Founder Jennifer Kanyumwa brings over 20 years of experience in wellness, marketing, and personal growth, bridging the practical and the spiritual. Through her sessions, she guides clients to quiet the noise, find their own voice, and bring their visions to life with renewed energy and ease.</p>



<p>Sessions are available online and in person for individuals, groups, and organizations. Workshops and retreats weave in Breathwork, Reiki, Meditation, Self-Reflection, and guided practices to nurture expansion from within.</p>



<p>Mujen Community invites you to remember who you are beneath the noise and reconnect with the wisdom within.</p>

<p><em>&#8220;Community support means everything to me because my business was built on connection, trust, and care. I’ve seen firsthand how powerful it is when women come together to support one another—especially when it comes to health and wellness. Every client, referral, and conversation helps me continue creating spaces where women feel seen, supported, and capable. It’s not just about fitness; it’s about belonging and building something that uplifts others in a real, lasting way.&#8221; – Jenna Maxwell, Jenna Maye Fitness</em></p>
