Today, on the International Day of People with Disabilities, we are honoured that our CEO Sean Crump is the recipient of the Alberta Premier's Council on the Status of Persons with Disabilities - Marlin Styner Achievement Award! #achievement #inclusion #IDPD2020

Did you know #BrettHull wore #16 for the @NHLFlames? And, did you know @spcrump only needs 16 more views to reach 1000 on his @TEDxYYC talk? ... coincidence, I think not WATCH NOW!👇 youtube.com/watch?v=lFYWdb…

The date is 22-10-2021... if you add the individual numbers together, multiply by 2, you get 20 and Sean needs 20 more views of the @TEDxYYC talk to reach 1000... a coincidence, I think not. Come on #Calgary, let's make it happen today! youtube.com/watch?v=lFYWdb…
