Attending the Mayor’s Annual Address at the Leaders Lunch hosted by the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce last week was a powerful reminder of why Abbotsford is such an incredible community—generous, resilient, and deeply connected. But the need in our community is growing. In the "lock down" year of 2020, Archway Food Bank served 2,403 families and 4,714 individuals. For 2023, those numbers have soared to 3,893 families and 9,198 individuals, with over 5,000 individuals each month in 2023. The number of charitable organizations has risen too, from 278 in 2021 to 311 in 2023 and 37% more employees involved. This highlights the increasing efforts to meet these needs as a community but it's not enough to make life affordable. Nor is a publicity stunt of cutting GST on Christmas trees sufficient.

In the tapestry of family dynamics, common interests such as a family business, a cherished cottage, or a shared charitable cause, serve as threads that bind generations together. Yet, it's not uncommon for these very threads to become points of contention.   Embracing stewardship over ownership can transform these potential conflicts into opportunities for collaboration and growth. It encourages a mindset where preserving and nurturing family legacies for future generations becomes the collective goal.   As we navigate the complexities of intergenerational stewardship, let's remember that the true value lies not in the assets we hold, but in the relationships we build and the legacy we leave behind. #FamilyBusiness #LegacyBuilding #Stewardship Visit our website at: https://lnkd.in/dQS3UPxV Download our Whitepaper: https://lnkd.in/enbG29Bb
