guy, I thank my wife, Nancy, for her support and understanding as I ‘changed hats and name tags’ numerous times a day, attending meetings and events.” “With the dedication of my administrator, Annette Sbarra and a strong Board of Directors in place,” Earl concludes, “I decided that after 14 years, it was time to let a new slate of volunteers take over, allowing me more time to focus on my busy real estate business, my family and maybe, some more camping trips.”

Immersed in the St. Thomas DDB for many years, Grayden Laing transitions from his role as Vice Chair to that of Chair. “By participating,” he offers, “I’m able to give back to a community that’s given a lot to me. My specialty is on the promotion side, specifically social media.” Grayden’s positive contribution includes his video series promoting local downtown businesses. Consequently, the facebook.com/downtownstthomas Facebook page has reached 380,000 people in the past year. Grayden reveals, “The motivation is to see a bunch of projects reach completion -- the new website is one, as well as collaborating with the St. Thomas Economic Development Corporation, the EDC.” As Grayden expresses, “A huge shout-out to Earl for the past decade of service he has provided. He will always be a legacy member of the Downtown Board.” Those interested in connecting with the St. Thomas DDB for further information — or with promotion ideas for their Facebook page — are welcome to send an email to ddb@stthomas.ca. Beginning in mid- July, inquiries regarding businesses in the downtown core can be directed toward Administration seven days a week. Moreover, explore the events and news on their website at downtownstthomas.ca.
