Squeezed: Making Lemonade for Access Advantage

The Calgary Herald held a lighthearted contest this month for Calgary entrepreneurs. Their challenge was to envision the best lemonade stand – a metaphor for how entrepreneurs can take the "lemons" of a bad economy and turn them into the "lemonade" of financial success. Jari Love, certfied personal trainer and creator of the immensely popular "Get RIPPED" fitness program (featured at Talisman Centre), was one of the entrepreneurs involved, and today the Herald announced that she had been selected by the judging panel as the winner! Head over to the Calgary Herald website to learn more.



Jari's participation also raised awareness of Talisman Centre's Access Advantage fund – a fund that was set up in 2008 in order to facilitate participation at Talisman Centre for all Calgarians, regardless of developmental, physical, or financial ability. Find out more about the incredible Access Advantage program here, and be sure to take a look at Jari's impressive business plan at the Herald's website.
