Bird Creatives Nominated for 2026 Alberta Business Awards of Distinction

Bird Creatives was honoured to be nominated for the 2026 Alberta Business Awards of Distinction. This marks our third consecutive year receiving a nomination, and our first in the Small Business Award of Distinction category.

Alongside our fellow nominees, we were proud to be recognized as a "small-but-mighty" business with an outsized impact on the local economy. The award presenter highlighted our production of Calgary's Chinook Blast festival, our flagship event that generates millions of dollars in economic impact for the city each year. This nomination reaffirms our place as a driving force in Alberta's creative economy.

Statement from Founder and Principal Consultant Kaley Beisiegel:

“This nomination isn't just about Bird Creatives; it's a nod to Calgary's creative community and everything we've built together. 

Small but mighty isn't just a category for us; it's how we've operated since day one. This recognition is for our whole team. While we didn’t take the hardware home, we were excited to see the win go to Local Laundry, who is doing great work in the community!”

We're grateful to have shared the category with four other outstanding small businesses:

• Dear Dog Treats (Fort Saskatchewan)

• Local Laundry (Calgary)

• Mountain View Events Ltd. (Mountain View County)

• PASS Electric Inc. (Red Deer)

Congratulations to Local Laundry on taking home this year's award! We're inspired by every Alberta business recognized this year, and we're excited for the new opportunities, collaborations, and milestones ahead.
