Join us at Highfield Regenerative Farms on August 6th, 6-8pm for the networking event of the summer. Get ready for a good time—that means live music, great people, and immersing ourselves in nature. Don't miss a chance to make new connections, tap into our collective wisdom and have some fun!


This is also a chance to check out an enterprise that embodies the spirit of community collaboration. Highfield Farms is a 15-acre piece of underutilized space in the industrial area of the City of Calgary that has been converted into an active urban community farm hub. The farm focuses on land revitalization, regenerative food and community building. It's also an epi-center of businesses and the home of multiple innovative projects from forest schools to aeroponic greenhouses. Look no further for a hyper-local model for growing food and working together!

The guest speakers will start around 6:30pm, but the magic starts at 6pm! We encourage you to arrive on time so you don't miss out!

Live Music: Ole Man Kidd

Denver Venoit, known in these parts as Ole Man Kidd, lassos lonesome tunes from the heavens that'll rattle your spurs and splash cold water on your face. Hailing from up north in The Yukon, Denver began touring across North America as a drummer, acquiring an unquenchable taste for travel along the way. He caught the blues the day his best friend died in his arms in a house fire in Montreal, and he has been wearing a cowboy hat and writing Folk, Country, Blues songs ever since. 


The howl of the bottleneck slide Denver coaxes from his steel guitar replicates a lovesick longing authenticated by his roving. He's sung his songs to the wide open airs of the Yukon tundra, the Mojave desert, and the Saskatchewan plains, where he spent a season's after season's as a bison ranch hand. Ole Man Kidd's music is steeped in a sepia hue and shows a dedication to reflecting the tearful truths of both personal and common history.
