I got the privilege of meeting Phil and Gord from Ballam Plumbing & Heating. Friend of Lew Williams from Houle Electric, I dropped by their shop (they’re located a block away from the Threshold reno site) and we got to know each other.

Better Business Bureau Honours
I told them about HeroWork, the youth we’re helping, and our longterm vision of creating a community revitalization movement across the country by developing chapters of HeroWork in towns and cities all over.
Phil told me about his travels to south America to help build a school. “It was an eye-opening experience,” he said.
“Yeah,” I said. “Sure gives you context for the paradise we live in.”
“Sure does,” he acknowledged.
After the trip he put two girls from that village through high school. Now one of them has gone through University. How beautiful is that?
Long story short they want to get involved and are willing take on the plumbing for one of the bathroom/units. Thanks to this local son and father plumbing company. Together we will make our neighbourhoods stronger!
