Kollektiv, 317/6th Avenue SE, Medicine Hat, AB (2026)

Some people come into your life and quietly change it for the better, just by being who they are. Megan is one of those people. 🩷

If you’ve ever met her, you know… her kindness, her positivity, her genuine care for others. It’s something truly special. She has touched so many lives within our Kollektiv community and beyond, and continues to inspire us every single day.

Right now, Megan is facing an incredibly difficult battle with cancer. While she continues to show strength and grace, we want to come together in the way our community always does, by supporting one of our own. 🖤

On May 12th, we’re hosting a “Be Like Megan” Donation Day at Kollektiv.

All classes will be offered by donation. We kindly ask for a minimum $5 cash contribution, with 100% of proceeds going directly toward supporting Megan and her family during this incredibly difficult time.

This day is about more than just a workout, it’s about showing up, giving back, and embodying the kind of compassion Megan brings into the world every day.

Let’s come together. Let’s lift her up. Let’s show her how loved she is.
Let’s be like Megan. 🩷🌸

This day is made possible by a full room and a giving community. If you reserve a spot and can no longer attend, please cancel in advance so another member can join. Every filled bike and mat helps us give more, and every dollar truly makes a difference.

Thank you for being the kind of community that shows up when it matters most. We are so grateful for each of you.
With love, Team Kollektiv. 🩷

This building has lived many lives, held many purposes, and carried countless memories, each chapter bringing a new beginning and transformation. ✨

Insert 2018…

Before the bikes.
Before the mats.
Before the music.
Before any of this existed.
There was everything that led to it.

I remember standing outside here for the first time, excited, knowing it was a risk, but believing it was worth taking.

There have been a lot of moments people don’t see. The stress, the pressure, the times it felt like everything was on the line.

We kept going, because of the support and the people who never stopped showing up.

And what started as a chance I believed in became the foundation of everything that followed.

And Kollektiv became so much more than just a studio.

It’s the team who shows up and gives everything.
It’s all of you in the room who bring the energy.
It’s the community that’s been built within these walls.

This place exists because you believed in it. 🥹

So thank you 🙏🏼
For being here, for supporting us, for being part of this.

What you’ve all created is so much bigger than I ever could have imagined.

8 years in… and this feels like the end of the beginning. 🖤

We’re growing 🌱

Kollektiv is looking for instructors to join the team. 🖤

𝗛𝗢𝗧 𝗦𝗖𝗨𝗟𝗣𝗧
We’re after someone who:
- Can coach with intention (not just hype)
- Understands form + movement
- Feels the music and leads with it

Certifications are a bonus, but how you show up in a room (and how you keep people safe) matters most.

𝗛𝗢𝗧 𝟮𝟲
This is a more dialed-in role for us, and not one we take lightly.
✔️ 200hr Yoga Teacher Training (required)
✔️ Hot 26 experience is a big asset

We’re looking for someone who understands the structure of the practice and can hold it confidently, while still making it feel like a real, human experience in the room.

We’ll support the right person with additional training and resources, but you need to come in with a solid foundation, attention to detail, and the ability to hold a room.

If you know where you land, we want to hear from you.

𝘽𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙒𝙝𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝘽𝙮𝙡𝙖𝙬. 𝙃𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨.
I said this series would focus on facts. But facts have human consequences. For 19 months, the first thing I did when I opened my eyes was check our kVA. Workdays, weekends, holidays. When an 8 kVA margin carries this level of consequence, you do not monitor casually. You wake up and check it. Even on your wedding day. And yes, I know how obsessive that sounds.

Each morning carried the same flash of dread. Were we over? Would today reset the clock? That level of anxiety is not normal or sustainable. It is not what running a small business should feel like. The weight of that uncertainty followed me everywhere. It distracted me from joyful moments and consumed valuable time meant for building, leading, and living.

I wish I could say persistence produced meaningful change. One small adjustment was made, but the impact was limited. We still had to pivot and wait out our sentence, and Kollektiv remains capped. Was it worth it? My cortisol levels say no. But if it prevents someone else from living under the same pressure, perhaps that will be the measure.

I adjusted thermostats, altered schedules, and scrutinized every kVA. Meanwhile, the city’s Christmas lights still shine well into late February. Administration cautions that structural bylaw changes are a zero-sum game, that relief for one means cost for another, yet clearly they control where that cost shows up.

The broader question is whether bylaws are evolving with the businesses they govern. A framework written decades ago cannot remain static while the landscape around it evolves. The bylaw is reviewed annually, yet only rates seem to change.

This was never just about one studio or one utility bill. It is about whether systems are built to understand the businesses they regulate or simply enforce thresholds without context. Small businesses are not asking for special treatment. We are asking for alignment with operational reality.

When a city quietly constrains businesses trying to grow, it creates hesitation. Contraction. Eventually, absence.
And that cost is not measured in kVA or kWh.

Thanks for following along 🖤

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭.

A utility reclassification did not just change our bill. It limited how Kollektiv can operate, impacting our community and the business I have worked hard to build.

My goal was simple: return to the Small Commercial classification where we operationally belong. To do that, I had to educate myself on a system I knew nothing about. It became trial and error. Which class stays. Which class goes. Which class moves.

Without real time demand data, I have had to estimate our kVA tipping point and operate defensively. Medium fees are substantially higher, yet the data arrives only once daily at midnight, offering no meaningful insight into what triggers a spike or how to prevent one.

We have the capacity to expand our schedule, but without clarity on the 25 kVA threshold, adding even one class risks triggering reclassification again. Growth is effectively capped because the consequences of crossing an invisible line are too significant.

After sustained advocacy, a two month grace period was introduced to warn businesses of potential reclassification. While a step forward, its structure limits practical effectiveness, and having absorbed the impact before its introduction offers little relief.

When potential solutions were raised, administration warned of negative impacts yet provided no supporting data. Thanks to the persistence of one former councillor, council passed a motion in August 2025 requiring businesses to exceed 25 kVA for four consecutive months before reclassification. This change is intended to protect operationally small businesses from being penalized for occasional minor overages instead of sustained high usage.

Council directed administration to review the financial implications. More than six months later, that assessment remains incomplete and the matter has not returned to council. Meanwhile, other initiatives requiring financial analysis have advanced on much shorter timelines.

Tomorrow, in my final post, I step beyond spreadsheets to share the human side of this story and the real cost this bylaw has exacted.

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘺 𝘉𝘰𝘹: 𝘏𝘰𝘸 8 𝘬𝘝𝘈 𝘊𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘜𝘴 $6,100 - 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨

Remember the greenhouse slide from yesterday? Here’s what that 25 kVA line actually cost us.

In 19 months, Kollektiv paid over $𝟔,𝟏𝟎𝟎 in additional utility fees under Medium Commercial. Had we remained Small Commercial, total charges would have been roughly $𝟕𝟎𝟎.

Medicine Hat owns its utilities, often framed as an advantage. But there’s a downside: businesses cannot shop for alternative rates or meaningfully challenge how the energy bylaw is applied. Oversight is minimal. One of my first calls was to the Utilities Consumer Advocate, and because the City owns its utilities, there was nothing they could do.

Repeated advocacy led to meetings and calls, but administration maintained the issue affected only a small number of businesses and advised we simply reduce consumption to bring kVA down.

The deeper I looked into the rate structure, the clearer the imbalance became. Medium Commercial and larger rate classes subsidize Small Commercial. On paper, we were Medium Commercial; in reality, we are a small business and subsidized others for 19 months.

Interestingly, only half of the 2,400 Small Commercial businesses have demand meters. The bylaw doesn’t account for this two-tiered system: businesses with a demand meter can be reclassified for minor overages above 25 kVA, while those without one aren’t flagged unless usage exceeds 5,000 kWh, which we’ve never done in almost 8 years.

I hired professionals, upgraded equipment, timed usage carefully, and adjusted operations wherever possible. We only crossed the threshold five times after reclassification. The 12-month mandate felt like a penalty box of sorts, where a single spike could erase months of careful compliance.

Tomorrow, I’ll show how this reclassification impacted far more than our utility bill. It limited operations, constrained growth, and turned every day into a calculated risk. The $6,100 was just the entry fee…the real cost was staying in the room.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗮 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸-𝗮𝗻𝗱-𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗕𝘆𝗹𝗮𝘄 𝗜𝘀 𝗨𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁

I want to preface this post, and the three that follow, by saying this is not an attack on city employees. Many incredible city staff and their families walk through our doors every week, and we are genuinely grateful for them.

This isn’t just about a utility bill. It’s about how a rigid system quietly penalized my small business, without warning. A black-and-white bylaw and an administration that stopped engaging once the narrative was set, despite council direction.

This series is written in an Op-Ed style: personal, direct, and fact-based. There is a lot of data ahead. If you own, support, or value local businesses, please follow along. What happened to us is happening to others, and understanding it matters to all of us.

In November 2023, I purchased our building and began extensive renovations to open a heated studio upstairs. Everything was permitted. Load calculations were submitted. No concerns were raised. We opened Sweat Kollektiv at the end of April 2024. In July 2024, I received an email notifying us we’d been reclassified from Small Commercial to Medium Commercial rates, effective immediately. My utility bill, reflecting a 64% increase, arrived the next day. 𝐍𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞. 𝐍𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠. 𝐍𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐝𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭.

Under the bylaw, exceeding 25 kVA or 5,000 kWh triggers reclassification to Medium Commercial. Returning requires 12 consecutive months below those thresholds. Brief spikes just over 25 kVA triggered the change. Once reclassified, we paid Medium Commercial rates month after month, even when usage dropped back below 25 kVA.

There’s no distinction between a small overage and much higher usage. Small businesses end up in the same rate category as larger ones. The kVA metric wasn’t shown on previous bills; I didn’t even know what kVA was until after the reclassification.
A fraction over the line.
Immediate, lasting consequences.

Tomorrow, I’ll explain how those few decimal points locked a small business into nearly 20 months of financial and operational fallout and why the bill was only the beginning.
