Building Businesses, Shaping Community

Описание: In this episode of Between Peaks, Chelsea Cudmore Vloet, Co-President at Cudmore Group and Banff Councillor Kaylee Ram reflect on entrepreneurship, community participation, and what it means to help shape the Bow Valley.

From generational retail roots and starting fresh in a new town, to growing a local business and serving in municipal leadership, they share why stepping forward to participate, even when it feels uncomfortable, matters.

From supporting Jasper wildfire relief to creating affordable ski access for local kids, this conversation highlights the many ways people contribute to strengthening the places they call home.

This conversation offers a grounded look at how two local women entrepreneurs move beyond storefronts to influence economic strategy, municipal governance, and community investment, and why participation, big or small, matters.
