Different magazine list

A St. Albert-based financial planning educator earned a spot on PROFIT Magazine’s top 100 fastest growing companies.

The Fast Track Group snagged the 67th spot on the entrepreneurship magazine’s 22nd annual ranking.

“Feels pretty good. It’s a pretty big honour, I guess,” said Fast Track founder and CEO Darren Weeks.

The ranking compares Canada’s fastest-growing companies by five-year revenue growth. It’s published in the June issue of PROFIT and online at PROFIT100.com.

Fast Track increased its revenue by 929 per cent between 2004 and 2009. Weeks said one key decision was spending more on marketing and hiring during the recession when many businesses were doing the opposite.

“I think it’s just pure recognition to say all the hard work that the entire staff has put forward the last nine y

Newspaper Story: Our Client Jim Sand, President of  The Fast Track Group was interviewed about  the new Terra Vista Project

By Debbie Houghtaling

A new housing project has been announced in Pincher Creek. The Fast Track Group and Fast Track Capital, is promising a new Terra Vista project in Pincher Creek, Alberta.

Fast Track Capital is partnering with Greenfield Development Corp (GDC), formally Pinchme Corp,

Now that the announcement has been made, fund-raising will shift into high gear.

The new project will cover 148 acres at the cross roads of Highway 6 and Highway 507, and will consist of 231 single-family lots, 27 duplex and 20 fourplex lots, a child care centre, a seniors complex, a multi-family condominium site and 60 acres of highway commercial frontage.

Pincher Creek Town Council has reviewed the Area Structure Plan for Terra Vista and the initial concept plan has been accepted, the physical phase of the project will now begin.

“We have looked at several communities in Alberta and Pincher Creek had the most opportunity,” According to Jim Sand, President of the Fast Track Group,

“The development will sit adjacent to two major highways (6 and 507) and will be located directly across from Walmart. It’s an ideal site and we’re certain future tenants and residents of Terra Vista and nearby communities will agree.”

The next step towards development will be the final permits, which they hope to receive from council in the next few months.

Luge Prize Not A Stunt

Feb 13, 2010 By Cory Hare | St. Albert Gazette

Promising a $1 million payday for any Canadian luger who snags a gold medal may be garnering international publicity but it’s not a silly publicity stunt, said Darren Weeks, the owner of St. Albert-based Fast Track Group.

The organization has pledged a million-dollar prize if a Canadian luger wins an Olympic gold medal. Canada has never medalled in luge at the Olympics but this year’s team has had a number of top-10 finishes and is a threat to medal, Weeks said.

The $1 million would be split between the athlete and the Canadian Luge Association. If Canada produces more than one gold, the athletes would share the prize money.

His company is also offering $50,000 for each silver and bronze medal. There will be a $5,000 reward for the top Canadian in men’s and women’s singles and doubles. The athletes can pocket all the cash.

The offer applies to the Vancouver 2010 games or the 2014 games in Sochi, Russia.

Weeks said he came up with the idea about 10 days ago.

“Just trying to do something different,” he said.

“More than just financially, I wanted to make sure they got a lot of exposure.”

“I thought, if we put a million dollars on the line, I think that might get some publicity and then more people will know what the luge sport is all about, because very few people even know what it is.”

The story has been picked up by media all over the world.

Weeks insists it’s not a publicity stunt aimed at generating interest in his financial education company. He noted that his Fast Track Group began sponsoring the luge team last year after noticing the team was putting “For Sale” signs on their helmets in an attempt to attract sponsors.

“When I found out that they were for sale, I was kind of embarrassed as a Canadian that we had the Olympics coming up in 2010 and they didn’t have a corporate sponsor,” Weeks said. “I thought what the heck, let’s support a little guy, an underdog.”

There were several things he had in common with the team: both are Alberta-based and both use a fast track. His sponsorship is worth more than $1 million over five years.

Weeks has heard the snickers that this million dollar prize is just a publicity stunt with zero chance of the prize being claimed.

“I made sure we did a five-year sponsorship and also for those skeptics out there if they think this is just publicity because, they’re not going to win, one of the ladies came in fourth, one of the guys came in fifth,” Weeks said.

“If it happens to be a gold medal in Russia, I’ll still pay.”

Canadian Olympians who medal will receive bonuses of $20,000 for gold, $15,000 for silver and $10,000 for bronze from the Canadian Olympic Committee.
