That is the short-term plan for Assaly’s new acquisition. The long-term plan, he noted, is still developing, but he knows that he will need to increase his sales and service staff. The number of people working at Maximum Powers Sports since it began in 2012 has grown from seven to 28, and Assaly expects to add at least half a dozen to his staff as he launches his new secondary showroom.

The doors of Goulet Motosports are shut but they will reopen soon under the Maximum Power Sports name. “We are looking to expand Maximum Power Sports into that building,” said Kevin Assaly, owner/operator, during an October 15 interview. “We just don’t have enough space for everything here on Tupper Street.” Assaly has made motor vehicles his busi- ness focus over the past two decades. He became the owner of Hawkesbury Hyundai in 1998 and then a partner in Hawkesbury Toyota. In 2012, he bought out Quesnel RV, which was located on Main Street, and transformed it into Maximum Power Sports, which he relocated to its current showroom and service/supply facility on Tupper Street. /PX UIF 5VQQFS 4USFFU CVTJOFTT IBT become too small to meet the demands of Assaly’s clientele. The recent announcement of Goulet Motosports closing down its ope- rations has proved an opportune time for Maximum Power Sports to return to its old Main Street neighbourhood with the creation of a second showroom setup. “We’ve been growing since 2012,” Assaly said, adding that sales are almost peaking at 1000 units, both new and used vehicles, a year. The sales demand, along with the vehicle servicing side, has pushed to the limits the capacity of the 21,500-square-foot Tupper Street facility.

Carole Muise, communications liaison for the Employment Services Centre of Pres- cott-Russell (ESCPR). “The pandemic only accelerated what we needed to do.” One of the first things the ESCPR did during the early days of the pandemic was to improve its existing online counseling service for all its clients, both those seeing employment and those looking for potential employees with certain skills. The ESCPR uses Zoom and other online conferencing systems to make sure it can help as many clients as possible. “We’ll adapt to whatever system the customer wants to use,” Muise said. The ESCPR also developed a series of webinars, also known as online seminars, available to both job seekers and employers through the agency’s website. One special webinar, Ça va bien, which is available in French for now, aims at offering advice to clients on how to work better and be more productive while staying at home during the pandemic and also provides suggestions on

how to cope with feelings of isolation. The agency also has an e-lending library program to provide clients in need with lap- tops they can use for working with online counselors and doing job searches for themselves. A psychotherapy program is also now in place for working with clients on a variety of issues related to job hunting or other needs.

Innovation is Prescott-Russell’s employ- ment services agency’s response to the pandemic. “We have quite novelties now,” said AVIS DE CONVOCATION À L’ASSEMBLÉE ANNUELLE DES ACTIONNAIRES NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
