The new truck is almost ready - this temporary signage is by Larry Hunter Sign Design in Springhill - keep your eyes peeled for the permanent version!
Grateful to work with local businesses.

Our beloved 1-Ton Chev is retiring! It started out as Mount Allison University's moving truck and dump truck, then worked wonders for us for well over ten years.
Strange how you can become so fond of an old truck.
