We are involved in the Halton Hills Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Committee, Board members and other volunteer roles for various non-profit organizations. We also have a program in place where for every successful referral for new business we receive, we donate in that person's honour to one of several charities, including Children's Wish, or a charity of the individual's choice.
