Leah Schmidt

Founder of Expand Hope
As the Co-Founder’s of Expand Hope, Leah and Marvin were motivated by a desire to answer some of life’s most difficult questions as parents surrounding raising their own children to have a deep gratitude for the opportunities that living in Canada afforded them, and how to be engaged and compassionate global citizens. Leah’s involvement with Expand Hope allows clients at The Schmidt investment Group the opportunity to explore how they can raise and inspire their own children and or grandchildren to actively make the world brighter.

Over the years, gardening has become a fun pastime to do with the kiddos! Gardening has become a big focus during the spring, summer and fall seasons as the experimental patches (and subsequent bounty) grow larger each year!
