A pretty special full-circle moment. ❤️
Visiting the Valley Stingers Ringette + Sports Camp at the MY FM Centre and seeing the logo of the company my dad founded and built — a company I’m now proud to carry forward — on the campers’ shirts was incredibly meaningful. Even more special was having his granddaughters — my daughter and my nieces — there at camp.
But the highlight was finally seeing my late father Pat’s plaque on the Hockey Wall of Fame, honouring his hockey career. A tribute organized by his old friend, Clayton Eady.
Legacy meant so much to my dad. Seeing his photo honoured on the wall, his company logo on the shirts, and his granddaughters carrying that family connection to sport forward was a moment I’ll never forget.
I’m proud to carry on the business he built, and even prouder to see his legacy continue through the next generation.
His legacy lives on… and thankfully, so does that legendary moustache ❤️🏒

Happy Father’s Day! Today we’re celebrating the man who built this company from the ground up—my late father. He taught us that a handshake matters, hard work pays off, and that insurance is really about taking care of people. His legacy still guides us every day. Cheers to all the dads out there! 💙
