Common Ground

In 1606, some 15 years before the first Thanksgiving in the US did Samuel de Champlain and his New France compatriots share a dinner of thanks with the Mi’kmaq of the area to celebrate a successful harvest season.

While isn’t the oldest known celebration of Thanksgiving in Canada, which is an honour that goes to Martin Frobisher and his men in 1578, both are great moments in our history that have endured for nearly 450 years.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Just finished our last day at the Indica Sell-O-Rama in Orlando. As a new Vendor Partner, we didn’t know what to expect, but after attending, Bon Tool thought it was awesome. The “Speed Dating” meeting format was unique and gave us a chance to get in front of 50+ Dealer Partners over three days. We met many great people and looks like we’ll build quite a few good partnerships from it.

Looking forward to continuing to grow with Indica, and excited for the 2026 show in San Diego.

Had a good morning of Hydro-Blok training with the guys from Tri-City Plumbing. Thanks for coming in for a couple of hours, and to Emco Kitchener for hosting.

Day one at The International Surfaces Event at the Mandalay Bay Convention Centre, and I’m hanging out at Booth 1441 with Sheoga.

Sheoga has a motto, “if you can dream it, we can make it”! Case in point is the second pic. One of those boards is our new Raw Collection” White Oak Fresh Cut. The other is Red Oak! It’s hard to tell the difference.
