Can you believe we are four months old? We feel that have accomplished so much in such a short amount of time! Four months ago, Holly from TruWood Artisans reached out to members of the Edmonton and area building and design community with an Instagram video-post encouraging them to all band together. Re-telling the cattle and bison story to illustrate, she pointed out that there was in fact a choice. They could choose to react to the current climate like bison - strong, toget...her, and bonded as a unit. As the original moral of the story goes, the outcome would be less pain, get through the storm faster and safer by using strength in numbers. No one should face this alone Edmontons building and design community responded by saying they were in! And thats how The Storm Bison was born.
