Tonight’s the night. @comoxvalleywbn AGM — wrapping up one incredible year and handing the torch to an amazing 2026–27 board.
This past year: mentorship program, @thewebc partnership, CVWBN Marketplace, She Speaks, a fashion show… and that’s just the highlights.
Huge thanks to Evangeline from @viwconnect for leading tonight’s networking activity — one of those rare moments where you actually get to know the people in the room.
New board reveal incoming. Stay tuned.
We’re hosting a monthly breakfast conversation.
Monthly topics. Always centred on the future of work.
This month: AI + the future of work.
No speaker. No pitches. Just a facilitated conversation.
One hour, everyone has something to contribute.
📅 Friday, May 29 | 7:30–8:30AM
📍 Gather Comox | $15
Space is limited so registration is required.
(Invite a founder friend or leader who’s asking the same questions.). Link in bio.
Something we’ve been quietly building and ready to share.
Suzie Read and I met in an AI mastermind and realized we were solving the same problem from opposite ends. Suzie brings leadership and motivation, I bring systems and change management. Neither works without the other.
So we built the program that holds both.
Built for Change is for founders and the leaders they’re growing. Launching this spring.
Follow along @builtforchange.ca Details coming soon. Photos @vi_portraits
01 of the AI Meet-ups in the Comox valley. Great talks, questions and dialogue about AI right here in our community!
Thanks to @kriskrug@lourdes.gant and everyone who initiated and who facilitate these gatherings. Some common threads - How is AI changing the ways we work, behaviours and society for better or worse? How are businesses and the workforce adapting? How are folks problem solving, creating, innovating? All the questions! No one has all the answers but it starts by sharing your experiences and asking questions.
Incredible day at Sparkhouse coworking space in Parksville. Thank you so much to Dan King for hosting and to Ron Manke from Rainshadow Marketing for your talk on Agentic AI. Great day, so many great people!
Welcoming May at Gather ☀️🌿
Community is the foundation to success not in the loud, performative way, but in the quiet, steady way we hold one another through growth, change, and everything in between with events is rooted in connection to your body, your story, and each other. Whether you’re moving through something, building something, or simply needing to be in a room where you feel understood there is space for you here.
Explore the full calendar + join us this month. 🤍

I finally got out on my dog walk today having holed up in my office and attending events this week. And I’m so glad I did. Two black bears were feeding in the field in Wildwood. The good news is the dogs didn’t notice them at all and they even better news is the bears didn’t notice the dogs. Happy Friday!
And that’s a wrap on the Ignite Summit 2026. Another incredible event in the business community in the Comox Valley! I’d say we’re so lucky but actually it’s as a result of a lot of hard work that we have such a thriving business community and so many great businesses and resources here.
Thank you to Kayleigh and Meghan and all the speakers panellist volunteers in participants for a full day of relevant business topics, networking and connection.
