Viva le Eric!

My husband and I owned a small business in Calgary for eight years. My kids learned many things by watching Mom and Dad build a company from the ground up, but the most important may have been that small businesses are local families’ livelihoods.

Opened in 2022, Gate of India owner Umesh Prasad noticed more and more Airdrie Indian food-lovers were making the trip to their location in Calgary’s Coventry Hills neighbourhood or pressing for delivery of their international cuisine.

This issue is dedicated to everything creative. It’s one of my favourite topics of conversation, and to learn what this means in Airdrie has been eye opening. We all have a creative streak; to make something new, something valuable.
