Ryan Hebor Does A Great Job At the Ontario Skills Competition

If you were anywhere around 130 Grand Road on Saturday you know what a success the yard sale in support of Canadian Tire's Jump Start program was. There was barely an open spot in the parking lot and we want to thank all of you who came out for this great cause.

To update, Ryan Hebor, our service apprentice finished in 10th place in the Ontario Skills Competition held a couple of weeks ago. To begin with, Ryan was one of only 3 first year apprentices who were invited into the competition. Every other technician was in their third year so for Ryan to finish 10th out of 60 says alot about what a competent, high achiever we have in our service department. Way to go Ryan!!

CTC Staff Highlight McCarthy Ellis

Busy times at the Trent Hills Canadian Tire as spring seems to be turning into summer quickly.

We are looking forward to our huge yard sale Saturday, May 29th which will be held inside and outside at our Grand Road location. Drop in to join the fun.

The garden center is a colourful oasis with flowers and shrubs of various colours and sizes in bloom.

The auto service center is pleased to announce our new Detailing Department where we can do your spring cleaning for you at a very reasonable rate (for your vehicle, that is). Right now if you book and oil change we are offering a 20 % discount on our already reasonable rates for cleaning your vehicle inside and out.

The staff here are looking forward to next week which is Employer Appreciation Week where we can celebrate the McCarthy-Ellis management successes. Since taking over Steve McCarthy has always been a huge supporter of local charity & childrens organizations. Whether through monitary donations, prizes for events or golf tournaments, breakfast club funding or team sponsorship (to name a few) , he has always been behind them 100%. We are very proud of the community involvement our organization has.

Remembering John Rightmyer

Stewart Davies Annual Tournament

For years Fran Davies has been a common site here at Canadian Tire. She moved from the Bridge Street location with us to the new facility and is always ready to lend a helping hand with a smile.

In October 2000, Fran's son Stewart succumbed to cancer at the early age of fifteen, after a two year battle. Fran, along with her friends and family, decided to host a golf tournament in Stewart's memory that year to let the people know how much they appreciated everyone's support during their time of need. This year is the 10th anniversary of the Annual Stewart Davies Charity Golf Tournament and it is still going strong.

This years tournament will be held on Saturday June 26th at the Salt Creek Golf Links in Warkworth. It is a 4 person, best ball format for 18 holes with the price of $60 for non-members and $40 for members. There are meals and prized for all players and all the proceeds are going to the local schools breakfast program. If you are interested in playing just call Salt Creek at 705-924-1521 or visit www.saltcreekgolflinks.com
.

Steve McCarthy and the Trent Hills Canadian Tire family have always been behind Fran supporting her all the way. In the past the Canadian Tire Foundation for Families has matched all the proceeds earned at the tournament and this has been very much appreciated.
