A story about community benefits

Print this Article | Send to Colleague

The Friendship Inn is a community centre in Saskatoon. Each day, staff serve hundreds of breakfast and lunch meals to people in need across the city: individuals and families struggling to survive on fixed incomes, people experiencing addictions and mental health issues, single parents, senior citizens and new immigrants.

When Peak Mechanical Partnership of Saskatoon learned that the two water heaters in the building had failed, and there was no hot water to help the people who depend on the community centre, the company responded.

“We were called to propose a solution,” explains president Dave Flamand. “I called the local rep for AO Smith, Nahanni Dearing from Dynamic Agencies. They in turn contacted AO Smith who were able to discount the water heater deeply. I also talked to Wolseley here in town to see if they would participate and they have come on board too. Peak Mechanical Partnership donated the labour and gas permit to install the new water heater.”

This is just another in a long series of examples of the great work done by the members of the Mechanical Contractors Association of Canada—large and small—to make important differences in their communities.
