Osborne South Mayor's BIZ Award

Jane's Website

 

Few people in Osborne South have a better network than Jane Wilson. Owning a popular community hair salon guarantees that she makes a lot of friends, but it’s her passion, creativity and concern that helps her keep them.

Soon after moving to the Riverview neighbourhood Jane joined the local Good Neighbour Group in order to meet people and raise money for the community centre. She served two terms as co-chair and exemplified what it means to be a good neighbour in Riverview.

For more than a decade she also acted as volunteer administrator of the Osborne Street Dance Club, a not-for-profit venture that brought affordable, high-quality dance instruction to children and adults.

In 2006, after ten years of operating as a home based business, Jane brought her business savvy from the home front to Osborne Street, launching the unisex salon Pingk Hair Care Etc. (www.pingk.ca), a showcase for her dream of running a business that would contribute not just to the bottom line, but to the community. She then joined the Osborne South Business Improvement Zone where she now is Secretary of the BIZ board, and sits on the marketing committee. Through new events like the Merchants wine and cheese get together and the holiday season’s “Light Up The Neighbourhood”, Jane works tirelessly to build connections in our community and to give people here the chance to do what they love in the best way possible.
