EMMA KILEY
​UPROOTED MARKET & CAFE

TUESDAY APR 25TH @ 8PM (AST)

Simply put, Uprooted is a local food market & cafe. But the people around Musquodoboit Harbour know that it is SO much more than that. After learning about the negative impacts of our current food systems, and gaining a deep appreciation of local food culture while in Dublin, Ireland, Emma decided to return to her hometown to put a very different spin on the traditional ‘local coffee shop’. Join us online to hear how Emma got Uprooted Market & Cafe off the ground… and created a connection point for her rural community in the process!

CHRIS VANHORN
AIRBLY

TUESDAY MAR 28TH @ 8PM (AST)

When you own an airplane, keeping accurate records can be the difference between life and death. So, when Chris joined up with seven other pilots to buy a small airplane together, he had a problem: how could he ensure the accuracy of the flight logs using 'pen and paper' and relying on eight different people to fill it out after every flight? When he couldn't find a device that would track and record essential flight data automatically, he set out to build one himself... and then built a company around selling his solution to other people! That's when Airbly was born! Join us online to hear how Chris went from problem, to idea, to launching a business… and all the twists and turns in-between!
