“Shifting Fortunes: Change comes to Cannington”

How technology through the eras has changed small town Ontario.

Cannington is a classic case study of how change has resulted in a shift in fortunes for a small Canadian town. From its inception as a pioneer mill town, to the heady days of the railway to the challenges experienced by a town in the Automotive Age; Cannington’s fortunes have shifted from one era to the next, calling into question what the future might hold for this and other small towns.

KALM SOLUTIONS

Kimberley Underwood, Owner & Organizer 

I have worked as a nurse for almost 20 years, spending a lot of that time working with seniors and their families. I have noticed how many patients struggle when thinking of downsizing their homes and organizing their lives. While well-intentioned family members often try to help, they don’t know how or where to begin causing a stressful and overwhelming situation for everyone. 

Having heard some of the most personal concerns, I understand how empathy, patience, and professionalism can encourage people to make the changes they need to make to be happier and healthier. We have a well designed plan to keep everyone focused on the end goal and to get there with little stress and no regrets. 

With compassion and knack for organization, I created KALM Solutions in 2018 after seeing an opportunity to help.  Since then, I along with team have been helping downsize, declutter and transform spaces and lives of individuals and families around Southern Ontario.
