This past Thursday our club enjoyed a great visit to Jen-Col Construction in their magnificent new complex in Acheson.
 

Jen-Col was founded by Ron Jodoin in 1978 and is now run by his son, Cory.

Cory was a tremendous host with his presentation of the principles Jen-Col uses as a basis for their business. He stressed to Rotarians that… construction is the ultimate team sport; their job is to get good value for their client; and that they believe they are building a better future.

Rotarians were very taken with Cory’s description of the culture of his business that he is building, one that would be an amazing addition to any business or organization.

While they build throughout Western Canada, they have constructed several of our local buildings, like the Border Paving Athletic Centre, which houses our international quality Aerials Gymnastics Club, the Jubilee Splash Park, as well as two ongoing projects, the Spruce Grove Protective Services building and the Main Street Law building.

Thanks Cory and Jen-Col Construction.

We also enjoyed a delicious lunch catered by Perks Coffee House.
