This week on Career Day, we chat with a friend of Beckler’s (and his dentist), Dr. Adeel Tahir. Dr. Tahir operates a dental practice in Cochrane and another in Canmore called Absolute Dental Care. He gives us some insight on the 10 years of post-secondary education he took to become a dentist, the money side […]

Are you afraid of public speaking? If so, you’re certainly not alone as it’s one of the most common fears among adults.

Very few athletes will reach the level where they can make a career out of playing their sport of choice. But there are still many ways to turn one’s love of a sport into a full-time job once one’s playing days are over, as this week’s Career Day guest has done. Tyler Hollick is the […]

What happens when you have a REALLY big mess? The kind that perhaps involves *ahem* gross, dangerous, or biohazardous materials? The kind of mess where you don’t even know where to begin cleaning? That’s when you call in the pros, like our Career Day guests this week. Dean and Jeanette May are a husband & […]
