Q. What is your business?

Q. What do you love about Fenelon Falls?
a. I love the atmosphere that Fenelon Falls has both in the summer and winter months. As a father of young children, there are many things for them to do during the summer months. As an adult, I love the variety of businesses in Fenelon. In the winter months Fenelon turns into a relatively quiet, cozy town.

Q. If you could do or change one thing in Fenelon Falls, what would that be?
a. I was speaking with my friend Julian, and we both agreed that Fenelon would benefit from being a European focused town. Markets, butchers, deli’s and small hotels to accommodate our growing tourism. With the political turmoil on this present day, it would be a great way for Fenelon to continue be a destination for others but flourish as a community.
