We are incredibly grateful to the Loyal Orange Lodge 432, the Oddfellows, and Gary Chandler for their generous donation of an AED to Maidens Family Auto Care.

Having an AED available in our south-end Barrie community is about much more than our business—it’s about being prepared to help a customer, neighbour, employee, or anyone nearby when every second matters.

Thank you to these organizations and Gary for recognizing the importance of having lifesaving equipment accessible in our community. We are proud to provide a home for this AED and truly appreciate their generosity and commitment to keeping our community safe.

Thank you to Mayor Alex Nuttall, MPP Andrea Khanjin, Ward 8 Councillor Jim Harris, Barrie Chamber of Commerce CEO Paul Markel, Board Member Rowley Ramey and Chantale Boileau, Ambassador Trent Mayers for taking the time out of there day for the presentation.

It's the first day of school, so we asked our staff to tell us what they're looking forward to and what everyone should know about their cars. Enjoy!
