As a new year is ushered in we often pause and reflect on the one just past. Have we
achieved our goals both professional and personal, have we contributed to make the world a
better place one small act at a time? Reflecting on the latter, at Brentwood we’re thankful for the many blessings we’ve enjoyed providing us with the ability to contribute to many
worthwhile charitable community campaigns and organizations such as the ones depicted here. Brentwood thanks our many long time customers for your patronage! It’s because of YOU, that we have been able to provide auction donations that have contributed over $45,000 to these organizations, making our community the best place to work, play and grow. THANK YOU!

I had the privilege to meet the marketing brain behind some very well marketed brands. Rick Cesari made global brands such as The George Foreman Grill, The Juiceman, Clarisonic and most recently the brand GoPro. I am, of course, a huge fan of the GoPro for all our behind the boat extreme water sports. Rick recently reshaped the target audience for  GoPro now marketing less for the extreme sport and more to the everyday person capturing real footage of their kids enjoying life. This is our family! We have hours of footage of our kids loving life thanks to the GoPro. Thanks Rick for the challenging Keynote speech.

On Saturday, Sept 12th I will jump on my bike once again to support Grand River Hospital Cancer Centre. This September marks the eighth year anniversary of my dad, David Ferguson’s passing, at the end of his fight with cancer. Many of you knew my dad personally. This year, I have committed to personally fundraise $5,000. I am writing to you today to ask for your support as many of you have also been personally affected by this deadly disease. The “Grand Ride” proceeds are going to Grand River Hospital’s Cancer Centre.
