provides overall leadership to the organization, developing and ensuring the implementation of
strategic direction and business plans for attaining corporate, financial and operational objectives.

their commitment to 3 core values – Service, Caring, and Excellence.
Ken also holds an ICD.D designation and has served on the ProAction Cops & Kids board, a not-forprofit

less intimidating to youth in the community. When it comes to local products and his favourite Cal &
Gary’s products – “My favorite local products are the samosa chips sold in the Deli – I love their flavor
and texture. My favourite Cal & Gary’s products are the ice cream cookie sandwiches in any flavour!”
