FOWLER CELEBRATES 75 YEARS IN A NEW FACILITY
At FOWLER, we extend our gratitude to everyone who dedicated their time and effort to organizing the Open House for the brand-new, state-of-the-art office and shop building. We appreciated the current crew members, retirees, FOWLER leadership, partners, community leaders, and guests who made the event such a success.
The Open House provided an opportunity for the team to reminisce, form new connections, and create wonderful memories as FOWLER ushers in a new era. A special mention goes to Bracebridge Mayor Rick Maloney, MPP Graydon Smith, and MP Scott Aitchison for attending, sharing thoughtful words, and helping cut the ribbon on the new facility. And a big FOWLER thank you goes to Randy, FOWLER’s longest-serving employee at 52 years, for cutting the ribbon in style.
