When Christine Jevne looks at the land she grew up on, she sees legacy, hard work and her father’s dream brought to life. As the owner and operator of First Choice RV Storage,
Airdrie’s newest RV facility, Jevne has turned a vision born from family love into a thriving reality.
The project began four years ago after Jevne’s father, Roy Wigley, received a terminal diagnosis.
“My dad came up with the idea so we could keep the family farm after he passed,” she says. “It’s the way I was raised — when the job is done, the hard work makes it feel that much better.”
Her husband and nominator, Steve Jevne, says her tenacity is unstoppable.
“Christine’s drive and ability to get herself and others around her to the finish line is infectious,” Steve says.
Beyond the business, Christine gives back through her volunteer work with the Rocky Mountain Listening Room in Calgary and her music career.
“Giving back brings people and communities together and fosters better mental health for the giver and receiver,” she says.
Still early in her entrepreneurial journey, Christine says she hopes to build a successful business to further herself as a musician and have a positive impact on Airdrie.
