We were proud and honoured to help people with their relocation plans and look forward to the new year ahead.
From all of us in the Calgary office, we would like to take a moment to wish you and your family the very best of the season.
It’s that time of year when we reflect on the past year, with all its ups and downs, the highlights and the low-lights. We take this opportunity to express our gratitude to our clients who put their faith in us this past year; as well as to all who have navigated these unexpected economic conditions with us and made the best of what was given.
