Financially supported by United Way of Calgary and Area, the six-month course is available to low-income or unemployed Albertans seeking financial independence. Thanks to the Momentum course and lots of commitment and hard work, Carolina is now the proud owner of Arepas Ranch, a thriving food truck, eatery, and family business.
