B usiness is more than just products and services, it is people working together to build something better. Whether it is a better province to live and work in, more economic growth for a region, a new kitchen or bathroom for your house or the latest new technology for your Jeep. When we spoke with Brittany Davis, Marketing and Communications Specialist and Eric Virkler, Executive Director of the Lewis Economic Development Council we learned that while Lewis County is “Naturally” connected to its historic economic roots – it’s agricultural and resource- based abundance and produc- tivity still does more than its share fueling the trade and industry supremacy of the Empire State. We also learned that Lewis County is also a progressively “green community” with wind, water, and solar projects reshaping the idea of local opportunity in a county of roughly 30,000 residents. With the Nova Scotia Progressive Conservative Race heating up we take a look who is involved, what their platform is and what they look to offer the people and business of Nova Scotia should they lead the party into the next provincial election against the governing Liberals. We chat again with Dan Monk of Monk Renovations, who for the second time in three years, has been awarded Renovator of the Year at the Canadian Home Builders’ Association at the Nova Scotia (CHBA-NS) Peter Kohler Peak Awards. We talk about how Monk Renovations has proven their utmost commitment to the community, professional contribution to the renovation industry, and opera- tional standards in daily work and how Dan and his team are working to continu- ally raise the bar for the growing residential renovation industry.

Vice President of Communications and Events Peter MacGillivray when he spoke about the number one des- tination for original equipment manu- facturers (OEMs), specialty equipment distributors and buyers about their upcoming annual event. We hope you enjoy the issue and we would like to thank all those involved in putting this month’s issue together along with our readers as we look forward to telling more stories about successful businesses and the people behind the scenes making it happen.
