Proudly celebrating our Business with Distinction nominee Allison Clowe and Bright Ridge Child Care Fan Page in Town of Paradise .

Allison is a hands-on owner who goes above and beyond for her team and the children they spend their days with. The warmth of her and her staff is clearly present, shining through the smiles of the kids at the centre. We should all be so lucky to have people like this helping to educate and shape our children's minds.

CBDC Cabot is proud to work with businesses like this which mean so much to the fabric of our communities.

**Special shout-out to the "Now Open" sign which has become a little bit of a inside joke for the team, proudly announcing their arrival to the community a mere 14 years ago! 😂**

An absolute gem of our region!
Need a moment?
Need a recharge?
Need a morning to read a book?
Maybe a family or sibling outing to remember forever?
A Little Cup of Sea is all of this and more!

The CBDC Road Trip 🚗 takes us to the tranquil shores of Colliers, NL, where slowing down is not just encouraged, it’s part of the experience at A Little Cup of Sea 🌊☕ .

After years in the hustle of Calgary’s corporate world, Lacey Pike returned home to Newfoundland 🍁 to rediscover calm and share it with others ❤️. Her cozy beachside cottage retreat 🏠 offers guests half or full-day respites by the ocean, complete with woodstove warmth 🔥, herbal teas 🍵, and peaceful views of Colliers Bay.

L’Escapade routière des CBDC 🚗 nous amène sur les berges tranquilles de Colliers, à Terre-Neuve , où ralentir est non seulement recommandé, mais fait aussi partie intégrante de l’expérience offerte à A Little Cup of Sea 🌊☕ .

Après des années à vivre la frénésie du monde des affaires de Calgary , Lacey Pike est rentrée au bercail, à Terre-Neuve 🍁, pour redécouvrir le calme et en faire profiter les autres ❤️. Ses douillets chalets sur la plage 🏠 offrent aux convives la possibilité de faire une escapade d’un jour ou d’une demi-journée, de profiter de l’ambiance océanique, de la chaleur d’un poêle à bois 🔥 et d’une bonne tasse de thé 🍵, dans le décor paisible de la baie Colliers .

Thank you to the Community Sector Council Newfoundland and Labrador for hosting the Community Well-Being Fair last week! It was a great day connecting with community organizations, youth, and families.

Youth Ventures coordinators Claire (CBDC Cabot) and Brianna (Metro Business Opportunities ) spent the day chatting with attendees about entrepreneurship, and the supports and programs available through Youth Ventures to help youth turn their passions into businesses.
