🏢 Jeromy Farkas Elected Calgary’s 38th Mayor

The municipal election in Calgary has brought a new chapter: independent candidate Jeromy Farkas has been declared the winner of the 2025 mayoral race. He won in a tightly-contested race, edging out his closest challengers by fewer than 600 votes. Farkas emphasized collaboration and pragmatic leadership as he steps into the role.
This change signals fresh energy for the city. Many Calgarians are watching with optimism as the transition begins.

🖼️ Calgary’s Arts & Culture Sector Gets a Boost

Calgary’s creative scene is receiving a significant surge in support. A recent report shows that local arts organisations and venues are benefitting from increased funding and infrastructure investment—moving beyond “survival” mode to growth. What this means: more exhibitions, more performances, more community-based art projects—and more reasons to explore Calgary’s cultural heart.

🍽️ New Restaurant on the Horizon at YYC

For those who love local flavour, chef Nicole Gomes—winner of Top Chef Canada: All Stars—is bringing a new dining experience to Calgary International Airport’s C Gates: Wander Kitchen + Bar. It’s a high-profile addition to Calgary’s food scene and signals continuing growth in local hospitality and tourism.

My friend Tim has sold more than $100 million worth of product on Amazon. He’s nailed down exactly what works and what doesn’t. For the first time ever, you can join his coaching community for a low monthly investment.

Inside his coaching and community, you’ll get his step-by-step system to build a profitable private label business. 3-5 live Q&A calls per week. A monthly masterclass on advanced growth strategies. A results driven community, and more.

I’ve personally paid for his coaching and community (back when it was a $5,800.00 investment), and it’s really good. You can get the same thing now for 95.6% less.

Check out the Jaspr Air Purifier to improve the quality of the air you're breathing in your home or office. I have two of them in my house, and they're fantastic. Use code ‘FROMHERE’ at checkout for an exclusive discount. I recently swapped out my Jaspr air filter after the recommended 6 months. Look at all the gunk it filtred from the air in my home! Yuck!
