It’s a small way we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of local kids and while networking with industry partners!

What a fantastic evening at the Blue Goose Lobster Fest! 🦞

The room was packed, the conversations were flowing, and the menu did not disappoint - seafood chowder, fresh oysters, mussels, and, of course, plenty of lobster.

A sincere thank you to all of our sponsors for making this event possible. Your support helps create opportunities for connection and collaboration across the insurance industry.

Already looking forward to next year's feast! 🦞🍻

This morning, the Blue Goose Ganders rolled up our sleeves to volunteer with Brown Bagging for Calgary’s Kids and together we made over 2,100 sandwiches to help support kids in Calgary who may otherwise go without lunch.

For more than 35 years, Brown Bagging for Calgary’s Kids has connected communities to meaningful action by helping ensure kids have access to nutritious lunches at school. Through volunteers, donors, schools, and community partners, they help feed thousands of children every school day because no child should have to learn on an empty stomach. (BB4CK)

Mornings like this are a reminder of how fortunate we are to be part of a community that doesn’t just talk about giving back, it shows up.

Grateful to spend the morning with a group committed to making a difference, one sandwich at a time 🥪💙

See you at the next event!
