“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.

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.

PRESENTATION: The Roaring 20's
It was a time of the Jitter-Bug and Juke Boxes, the Bee’s Knees and the Cat’s Pajamas. Its era had no precedent and its place in history marks it as the most revolutionary decade of the 20th Century.
Shaking off the horrors of the recent world war, and reaping the windfall of economic growth, this time was fueled by the rise of women’s power, prohibition, movies and jazz. It was an era bigger than life, louder than convention – it was the Roaring 20’s! I
