Meet our lovely neighbour - Jenna Campbell !

Nestled in the beautiful community of Mount Royal, where tree-lined streets meet bustling local shops, lives Jenna Campbell. A woman whose life is equal parts creative, entrepreneurial, and community-minded. She has charted her path through the worlds of business, beauty, and design- all while building a life grounded in connection, intention, and inspired craftsmanship. She shares her home with her partner Kyle and her blue-haired Chihuahua named Clicquot.

It was during the upheaval of the COVID pandemic that she launched her inspired venture. A jewelry brand born, reflecting her lifelong love of design and personal expression. Her instinct- to see art in the everyday- grew into a full-fledged accessories business that now curates wearable pieces of art.

Today, Jenna and her partner Kyle reside here, where they enjoy the walkable access to a constellation of independent shops and restaurants.. “We really try to support Local wherever possible,” she says. “It’s easy to order from Amazon or big-box stores for convenience, but it does hurt the small businesses that make our communities thrive.” From butchers and coffee shops to textile artisans and farmers, she’s adamant about showing up for the businesses that shape her neighbourhood. Whether Jenna’s designing jewelry, pampering clients, or dining out at a locally loved spot, she’s building something much bigger than just a business- she’s nurturing a life that reflects the best parts of creativity, community, and connection.

Hello neighbours! This month, we’re excited to introduce you to ANNE GORESHT, known affectionately by many as “Miss Anne.” Perhaps she was part of YOUR childhood :)-- you may remember ‘Miss Anne’ from her early days as the beloved television host of Romper Room. Remember? it aired from 1953-1994. That popular show was best known for its interactive format that led children through various educational activities and games. “At that time, it was ground-breaking — emphasizing education and socialization in a fun, engaging way,” In fact, it paved the way for several popular TV shows including Sesame Street, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood and The Friendly Giant.

While Anne is no longer working in television, she’s has stayed true to her unique gift and passion for teaching children. “I’ve always believed that children’s books should be both entertaining and educational — providing young readers with valuable life lessons.” She is very dedicated to stimulating the mind of readers through relatable characters and colourful illustrations and is now the proud author of the children’s book, I Am A Big Brother With A Superpower.

Anne’s legacy will be one of creating joy, connection through the enduring power of stories. Whether it was through a television screen, the pages of a book, or a conversation over tea, Anne has always found ways to enrich the lives of others. Her storytelling gift continues to inspire those around her, and her impact on future generations is sure to last long after her final chapter is written.
