Family Enterprise Canada and CONTEXT Studios deepen partnership
November 6, 2025 — Visit the Family Enterprise Canada website for award details.
CONTEXT Studios is proud to announce the deepening of its partnership with Family Enterprise Canada (FEC), a national organization dedicated to helping enterprising families thrive across generations. Together, the two organizations are expanding their collaboration to honour founders, celebrate shared values, and preserve legacies through cinematic storytelling.
At CONTEXT Studios, we transform family enterprise stories into high-end, episodic, Netflix-style documentaries that capture the essence of legacy — preserving the spirit, values, and vision that define generations of family leadership.
“There’s nothing more important than storytelling when it comes to inspiring and instilling values,” says Steve Beauchesne, CEO of Family Enterprise Canada. “Working alongside CONTEXT Studios, we’re able to jointly create a future we can both see. FEC is in the trenches every day working with families and their advisors, helping them thrive in the present. CONTEXT Studios captures these moments in time and makes them live forever.”
“Family Enterprise Canada plays a vital role in helping families in business thrive, and we’re thrilled to expand our collaboration,” says Andrea Lekushoff, CEO of CONTEXT Studios. “Together, we’re celebrating shared values, preserving history, and inspiring future generations through the power of storytelling.”
Celebrating and Preserving the Legacy of Family Enterprises
Together, CONTEXT Studios and Family Enterprise Canada are proud to announce two initiatives designed to help family businesses preserve their heritage and strengthen their legacies for the future:
Grand Prize: Enterprising Family of the Year (2026)
Each year, Family Enterprise Canada presents this prestigious award to a family business that makes a profound impact on its community and the economy. CONTEXT Studios is honoured to donate a Family Business Documentary as the 2026 Grand Prize, offering the winning family a cinematic legacy piece that celebrates their journey and values.
Complimentary Annual FEC Membership
With the purchase of a Family Business Documentary, both FEC members and non-members will receive a one-year complimentary FEC membership (a $2,000 value). This initiative reflects a shared belief that every great family story deserves to be seen, heard, and remembered forever.
“We’re both in business to help families thrive for generations to come,” Beauchesne adds. “It’s a lot of fun working with people who care as deeply as we do about families. The work that CONTEXT Studios does helps me do my job — it brings theory and purpose to life through powerful storytelling.”
“Family enterprises are the heartbeat of Canada’s economy and communities. Our partnership with FEC allows us to celebrate these families’ remarkable stories—capturing the values, leadership, and love that define them for generations to come. It’s both a pleasure and a privilege to help preserve their legacies through film,” explains Lekushoff. “Together with Family Enterprise Canada, we’re helping families not only live their legacy but ensure it endures forever.”
