That's a wrap! Thank you so much to everyone that came out to our Annual Celebration and General Meeting. Celebrating 35 years in true 90's style was so fun and meaningful.

From a spoken word poem and song, to a lovely participant video feature, Momentum's 2026 AGM was so much more than a recap of the year.

As one attendee put it, "once [participants] are under the magnetism of Momentum, they are embraced in ways seldom seen. They are now under the influence of people who are sincere about providing an atmospere for learning, building self confidence and friendship. Excellence in skill building is every where."

Thank you to all that attended and to Momentum graduate businesses for providing food and beverage for all to enjoy: AROMA CAFÉ BAR, Éclair de Lune Patisserie, Velmira Delights, Ahinkeskitchen, XhAle Brew Co. and Manna Patisserie

Yesterday was a beautiful morning for the 19th Annual Bike to Work Day! Momentum folks got out to enjoy the sunshine and even a visit with Mayor Jeromy "Pathfinder" Farkas and Councillor Myke Atkinson.

Cycling reduces traffic congestion, pollution, and is a healthy, cost-effective alternative to driving. BTWD fosters community spirit and helps combat climate change by lowering carbon emissions.

If you didn't make it out this year, give commuting by bike a go this summer!
