It’s a story playing out with small businesses everywhere. Rapid consumer behaviour changes combined with constant changes to governmental operating regulations has significantly impacted small business owners. While some businesses have already chosen to, or been forced to close, Janeen Norman and 23 other Calgary business owners have decided to turn their story of struggle into one of self-determination and self-empowerment by establishing an eCommerce and food delivery collective called, "Best of Calgary Foods". In this episode you'll meet Janeen who owns Alpine Sausage and is the President of Best of Calgary Foods. 

Janeen explains:

• Best of Calgary Foods’ vision and mission 
• Why theuy out to create Best of Calgary Foods
• What kind of challenges they’ve faced early on
• How their unexpectedly explosive success forced them to find a new building  after only 4 days
• Why it is so important and urgent that people shop local
• How through their collective reach, they raise one another
• and, why Janeen says now is the time for small business to rise up
