Karen & Charles Flavelle
Karen Flavelle, Owner, CEO & Chair
As CEO of Purdys Chocolatier, Karen Flavelle’s passion for quality, chocolate and people has been the key to her success in re-invigorating the iconic 115-year-old heritage brand and increasing its reputation for premium chocolates. A native Vancouverite, Karen bought Purdys Chocolatier from her father Charles Flavelle in 1997. She prioritized listening to Purdys customers and revolutionized many aspects of the business including merchandising, marketing, recipe development, factory and store efficiencies and more. Through her leadership, Karen grew the business from 42 to 80 locations across Canada including Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and established an E-commerce sales channel.
Karen and Purdys have always been passionate about giving back. As a purpose-driven and family-run organization, Purdys supports communities where they do business: in Canada and the Ivory Coast. Support ranges from paying premiums to source sustainable cocoa to support cocoa farmers, to investing in organizations throughout Purdys Purple Partnerships that support the 2SLGBTQ+ community; Black, Indigenous, People of Colour (BIPOC) communities, and women & children.
Karen has supported many organizations privately, the major recipients being: BC Children’s Hospital Foundation creating the Flavelle Wellness Park, Take a Hike Foundation and Pacific Autism Family Network Foundation.
In addition to Purdys being named an AON Best Employer nine times under her leadership, Karen has won numerous awards such as being named WXN’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women in Canada, BC’s top 500 most influential business leaders in Food and Beverage, a Top CEO in Canada by Glassdoor.
Charles Flavelle (1929-2024), Former Owner of Purdys Chocolatier
Charles Flavelle’s legacy is intricately woven into the transformation of R.C. Purdys Chocolates. In 1963, he and his partner, Eric Wilson, acquired Purdys and propelled it from four stores to 44, expanding across Vancouver’s west side, Vancouver Island, and Alberta, introducing seasonal direct-to-customer sales. Additionally, during 1980-81, Charles took on the monumental task of organizing and outfitting a new 157,000-square-foot factory to replace the original 6,000-square-foot facility. Charles’s remarkable contributions extended beyond his role at R.C. Purdys Chocolates. He understood the importance of community and created Choklit Park, providing local children in underserved areas with an exciting place to play, filling a void in their access to public parks.
Charles’s exceptional ability to build strong relationships with landlords facilitated the company’s growth, while his talent for nurturing an enduring company culture motivated employees to stay for decades, becoming integral to Purdys.
Beyond chocolates, he made significant industry contributions as the first international member of Retail Confectioners International (RCI) and served as RCI Board President in 1975-76. His community commitment was equally remarkable, championing family businesses through the Canadian Association of Family Enterprises (CAFE), supporting the arts, actively participating in the Vancouver Rotary, and fostering equitable agreements with retailers on the Granville Island committee.
In politics, he advocated for development boundaries in Kerrisdale, preserving its character, and lobbied against proposed 1970s freeways, leading to the formation of the Traffic and Environment Action Movement (TEAMs). Charles Flavelle’s legacy extends across business, community, and civic engagement, leaving a multifaceted impact.

We recorded this video in one long weekend as the team that built the Evergreen Line demolished a bridge, slide in a concrete box, back filled and repaved the road in time for Tuesday morning rush hour. It was amazing to record and produce and stunning to witness. This at the Inlet Station in 2013

Just discover a nice city name Pune in India by your video, i like it, warm greeting from Bali
Best city to live in India 🇮🇳 Pune ❤❤
India is beautiful ❤💛🧡💙💚💜
I think Pune itself has around 3 millions, not 6? He probably means Pune Metropolitan Region (Pune plus Pimpri-Chinchwad and some other cities).
Is this for someone trying become a massage therapist?
This is for (already registered) Massage Therapists in BC. Thx for watching.
Que trânsito louco 😲😱😱
Pune is almost a suburb of Mumbai
lol.Pune is 150 km away from Mumbai.
Your video deserves so many more views...
Thank you!
@@ohboyproductions7972 I think the ideal video length is about 8 - 12 minutes on UA-cam generally.

Dewan Krishanu Can you tell me what ghandala Is? What it is to listen to a ghandala played?
Pune is the best city in India!!! Check out my travel vlog whenever I visit Puneeee ua-cam.com/video/WhhRW570WwU/v-deo.html
Not only this city actually whole india is dirty, and world number one dirtiest country
Manish Sharma tu Pakistan Chala ja
134 billion people
Not the world's number one but yeah we do have a problem. I feel though with time and awareness the scene is changing.
Hey!, Thanks for visiting my city!! Its really a beautiful city, many of the greatest men in India are from this city. Many Poets, Freedom fighters, Artists, Actors, Classical singers live in this city. It is called silicon valley of east. Its one of the most significant cultural and educational hub of eastern world.
mangesh bhoyar Yes, as an individual, I am trying my best to keep the city clean. I don't use plastic carry bags and tissuepapers, I use many of my household wastes to make handcrafted gifts, I do participate in activities such as e-waste collection, river-bank cleaning, plastic collection activities, painting the dirty walls in public areas, i actively use PMC app, website to continuously give feedback and register complaints about bad road conditions, overflowing dustbins and some more similar activities. I am sure if we, as a common man come together, can definitely change the picture 😉

Ec C what is a ghandala?
is find team soccer in puna?
I haven't seen a single frame of Pune video where you don't hear this horrendous traffic background noise. Is it that bad? Looks like I wouldn't like it there because of that.
It is definitely not the quietest city. But very beautiful, and worth the visit if you get the chance!
Well it depends actually, As a traveller it's a bit different to get adapted into the Indian Eco System. But I would suggest that you travel by a UBER or OLA cab services. I'll be making a series of videos soon to help others explore the City from a local residents point of view so that there won't be any misconceptions. Yes, there's a lot of rush, but we're a developing country and are trying our level best to educate all in improving each other and make the country great.
Nice video man, my GF is in Pune at the moment. Sounds like a great city. What did yout shoot this on? Was a gopro with a Gimble? or a DSLR? or something else. Looks like a great bit of kit for shooting this sort of thing!
Hey Gavin, this was pretty much all shot on a Canon 5D3, with various lenses. The stabilizer used for some of the shots was a Laing P-03 Stabilizer. Thx!
