Today my partner and I went for a drive in the town of Ajax and we are just disgusted in the litter we see everywhere. I'm not even talking about wrappers and bags and the normal litter that we try to combat everyday but intentional, deliberate litter for the sake of being seen. Plastic baggie signs littered by companies on every corner to promote business. It's a way of getting next to free advertising. It's a bylaw violation and a real embarrassment for the company that litters the signs all over town (or at least it should be). I mean we do have bench signs, bus stop ads and billboards if you want your logo out on the streets. Besides that, we have Search Engines, Canpages, Goldbook, YellowPages and local community publications. I'm sure I'm missing other mediums but you get the point. Please do something about it. Call the company and complain or call your town's bylaw. Let's keep the lawn signs on lawns where the work was performed. That way we can see the work the advertising company did and the homeowner can choose when to dispose of the ad. Most importantly, we can keep the town beautiful and free of plastic garbage signs. This is a call to action by anyone in the community that cares.

Linda PilatOwner, President of Durham Region Roofing Ltd. I, myself, have been roofing since 2006. I learned everything from my partner, who has been in the industry for over twenty years. Although my partner is the main decision maker in the field, I have made sure that I maintain extensive knowledge of the roofing industry because I realize that, as a woman, I must prove myself to be as good or better than my male counterparts and because as an owner, it is my business to know my field. My major contribution is my commitment to excellent customer service and ethical business practices, although my partner shares this view with me as well.  Archives
