It's with a heavy heart that we had to say goodbye today to our Boo. We found her 18 years ago, as a spicy little kitten, so small she fit in Grant's palm. She lived a happy live here at the Shop. Rest in Peace Boo

Back-to-School Budget Stress? Start Here.

Back-to-school season is exciting… until you start adding up the costs. 😳

New shoes.
School supplies.
Clothing.
Lunches.
Sports.
Activities.

Suddenly, your budget feels a little tighter.

Here's the good news: you don't have to figure it all out at once.

Start with one simple step:
👉 Write down everything your family expects to spend on back-to-school.

Once you can see the numbers, you can make a plan.

Clarity comes before confidence.

💚 What's the one back-to-school expense that always surprises you?

At Wellness Financial Coaching Inc., I believe money doesn't have to be a source of shame or stress.

Sometimes you just need a little clarity, a plan, and someone to help you find your next step. 💚

Ready to feel more confident about your money? Let's start the conversation. DM me for more information!

It might seem like just a few stars or a quick sentence to us, but to the non-profits, public organizations, and small businesses that form the heart of Nanton, a Meta review is pure gold.

Ever wonder why some local updates pop up in your feed while others seem to disappear? It all comes down to how the algorithm reads community engagement. When you take a moment to leave a review, it signals to Meta that our pages matter to the community.

For a non-profit like the Nanton Quality of Life Foundation, or for your favourite downtown shop, that little algorithmic boost makes a massive difference:

Greater Visibility: It ensures our updates, program notices, and support services reach the neighbours who need them most.

Active Feeds: It keeps local community centres, heritage hubs, and independent businesses visible amidst a crowded digital space.

Stronger Connections: It helps newcomers discover trusted local resources and services right here in our town.

Taking just two minutes to leave a review for the public organizations and small businesses you cherish helps keep Nanton connected, informed, and thriving.

Who are you showing some digital love to today? Drop a review on their page and let them know they have your support! 👇

Notice to Our Valued Customers 📢

To maintain the high level of care you expect from us, we want to let you know about an upcoming price adjustment 🛠️.

Effective June 1st, our prices for oil, coolant, and antifreeze will be increasing 💧.

Unfortunately, our suppliers have introduced a 20% price hike on these essential fluids 📈.

While we always try to absorb rising costs where we can, we need to adjust our rates to reflect this new supplier pricing 🚗.

We know that price increases are never welcome news, and we thank you for your understanding, loyalty, and continued support of our local shop ❤️.

If you have any questions or need to book your next service, please give us a call at (403) 646-3222 or stop by the shop at 2506 19 Ave 📞.
