With Annessa Good-Hassard, Peak Heritage Consulting
“They” say farm families need to communicate more and better. But how?
In this session, Annessa Good-Hassard of Peak Heritage Consulting Ltd. shares practical strategies and frameworks to move beyond vagueness into clear, actionable tools. Guided by her motto: “Succession is the transfer of a business, Estate Planning is the transfer of assets pre- and post-death, and Transition is a combination of both — proactive rather than reactive,” she offers a grounded, real-world approach to planning.
Topics include family dynamics, operational clarity, compensation, land transfer strategies, estate planning, and fiscal realities — with the goal of giving families confidence to start the conversations every farm faces.

Did you know? Every time your fire panel alarm goes off, the Fire Department is automatically dispatched to your home or business.
Starting January 1, 2026, Wheatland County will implement fees for false fire panel alarms under Bylaw 2025-06 – Fire and Emergency Services.
What is a false alarm?
If firefighters respond and it turns out the call was the result of a non-emergency or faulty alarm system, it is classified as a false alarm.
We do not charge fees when there is an active fire or the fire has been extinguished before our arrival.
Most false alarms can be prevented by properly maintaining or updating your alarm system.
False Alarm Response Fees:
| False Fire Panel Alarms | |
| First false alarm | No charge |
| Second false alarm | $250.00 |
| Three or more false alarm | $500.00/alarm |
| Fee for standby time (waiting for reference to arrive over the specified time) | $250.00 per hour after the time specified of 30 minutes |
