ARC's 25th Anniversary Celebration

ARC Business Solutions recently marked a major milestone - our 25th Anniversary! We didn't just celebrate; we had an unforgettable journey in the serene mountains of Jasper. Here is a glimpse of our adventure:

Our team came together to commemorate a quarter century of innovation, growth, and success. IT was a time to reflect on our journey, celebrate our achievements, and set our sights on the exciting future ahead.

From team-building scavenger hunts, to a celebration reception, every moment was filled with camaraderie and a sense of achievement. We laughed, we bonded, and we forged strong connections that will propel us for the next years to come.

It wasn't all about adventure; it was also a time of gratitude. We expressed our heartfelt appreciation to every member of our team, past and present, whose dedication and passion have been the driving force behind our company's success.

As we return from the mountains rejuvenated and inspired, we carry with us the memories of this remarkable celebration. Most importantly, we carry the renewed commitment to continue to push our boundaries, delivering excellence, and making a positive impact in everything we do.

Together, we raised awareness and funds for men's health issues, including mental health, suicide prevention and prostate cancer.

We're proud of what we've accomplished as a team as as a community. Let's keep the conversation going all year round - because men's health matters every day! Please get your and your loved ones checked, early detection is key!

Darwin Perrier
Staff Spotlight
Principal, Darwin Perrier has raised $4,665 since 2020 for Movember, not to raise money but to try and get people tested. You can get tested by doing a PSA Test (blood work) in combination with a physical. Darwin has recently been diagnosed with stage 1, prostate cancer, 100% curable with surgery.
‍
The statistics are pretty scary, 40% of men over 40 have prostate cancer, 50% over 50, 60% over 60, 70% over 70, and 80% over 80. If prostate cancer isn’t caught early, it spreads to the lymph nodes, the bones, and then other organs. the earlier it is caught the easier treatment is.

We are so proud to announce that Darwin had a very successful surgery this past December 2021, is now in recovery mode, and is happy to report he is cancer-free today!

We can all be resilient together, save a life, get yourself or a loved one tested!

Customer Appreciation Event 2024

Celebrating Our Incredible Customers This Holiday Season!

At ARC, our Customers are at the heart of everything that we do, and this holiday season, we were delighted to host a Customer Appreciation Event to say thank you for your trust and support throughout the year!

From the savory appetizers to great conversations and a little holiday magic, it was a joy to connect with so many of you in person. We are closing out 2024 with a gratitude! 

Christmas Party 2024

Celebrating the Holiday Season Together!

This year's Christmas Party was filled with joy, laughter, and holiday cheer. From the festive decorations to our special gift prizes, it was a wonderful way to come together and celebrate the end of another amazing year at ARC!

A huge thank you to everyone who made the event so memorable - whether by helping to plan, bringing your holiday spirit, or simply joining in the fun. These moments remind us how lucky we are to have such a fantastic team.

Kids Christmas Party 2024

Holiday Magic for the Little Ones!

This year, we brought the holiday cheer to life at the ARC Kids Christmas Party it was a fun packed day! We kicked off the festivities with a Sea Lion Show, where the kids were amazed by the playful and talented sea lions.

The excitement continued at Build-A-Bear Workshop, where each child (and some kids at heart) created their very own cuddly companion to take home (or work) - a special keepsake from a memorable day.

Seeing their happy faces reminded us why these moments matter. It's about creating experiences, spreading happiness, and celebrating the season together. We're so grateful for the opportunity to make the holidays special for our team and their families.

ARC's annual visit to the Taste of Edmonton was a sizzling success! We soaked up the sunny weather, savored refreshing beverages, and indulged in delicious food and treats. Cooling off in the fountains was a perfect way to beat the heat. We're excited to do it all over next year!

It's our favourite time of the year again! We just love the energy the Stampede brings to Calgary, the entire city transforms into a vibrant hub of excitement and celebration. Shout out to South Block Barbeque & Brewing Co. for taking care of us!

ARC had a blast proudly sponsoring our team named 'The Meese' at the Red Bull Soapbox Race in Edmonton on June 22nd.

We all enjoyed some great food and even better company! The Calgary potluck was a very big success, thanks to everyone for making some delicious food and coming out!

It turns out that not only do we do IT well, we can also cook! Everyone really outdid themselves and brought some tasty dishes to the Edmonton potluck, we might this make an annual event!

Even in Calgary we cheer for the Oilers! The families had a tonne of fun at our Calgary bowling event and even had some spares!

We love to duplicate events because we had so much fun! This might just be an annual thing for us. Another year, and some new faces, we are always growing and evolving at ARC! Thanks to everyone who came out this year!

We had some fun, had a few strikes, had a few snacks and had a few laughs!
