Extremely proud of The Broad Squad for showing up 3+x a week for over 4 years now!

Thank you Valley Graze for the thoughtful shout out and creating another beautiful place to connect in the Nicola Valley!!

Favourite Customer Friday ❤️

These ladies.

The Broad Squad!

A group of amazing women some old friends, some new friends, some recently retired, some brand new to town but all showing up with the same goal: to move, laugh, connect, and cheer each other on.

They attend PTC, a local gym where the amazing Alyssa puts them through their workouts and stretches and somehow they still have enough energy left to come fill Valley Graze with laughter after.

Our team looks forward to their weekly visits because when the Broad Squad walks in, the whole shop feels brighter.

Big shoutout to Alyssa for creating more than just a gym community she has created a little family. A place where women can show up exactly as they are, support one another, and leave stronger than when they walked in.

Here’s to strong women, new friendships, loud laughs, and coffee after workouts. ❤️

Also, I spy some parts of this video looking very familiar 😜👀

We are continuing to celebrate International Women's Day today!

It's difficult to describe the emotions I feel to be surrounded by such incredible women on a daily basis.

The theme this year is "Give to Gain". I've seen many times on days where we have a hard time showing up for ourselves, we show up for each other. The responsibilities we carry as women can feel lightened when we care for one other. We gain strength together, we gain empowerment together, we gain a voice together.

To be able to share a space where women show up, encourage, laugh, and inspire each other daily is such a gift.

Love to all you ladies, Happy International Women's Day

I was blessed with the opportunity to go to Italy and support my brother as he represented the maple leaf in the Olympics. To be around the best athletes in the world, to spend quality time with family, to see old buildings, eat allll the quality foods, and shop and walk 10km a day was truly a dream come true. I’ve never been prouder of the Men’s Hockey Team, my brother/family, and to be Canadian 🤍🇨🇦.
