Since moving to town in 2014, my wife and I have tried eating just about everywhere we can. We love supporting local businesses, but more than anything we just really like to eat. Here are our top picks (in no particular order).

Yesterday, I organized a bottle drive in support of frontline healthcare workers at Douglas Memorial Hospital, which raised a total of $765. Special thanks to The Beer Store for (safely) facilitating our returns and to everyone who donated their empties.

Between 10 am and 4 pm this Monday, June 8, 2020, I will be collecting empty beer, wine, and liquor containers to donate to frontline healthcare workers at Douglas Memorial Hospital via The Beer Store.

Last fall, my wife and I organized a food drive at Sobeys for COPE. In exchange for donating food items, we gave away free The Fort Erie Podcast tee shirts. This spring, I am doing something similar. Make an online donation to Fort Erie Meals on Wheels and receive a free Fort Erie Podcast tee shirt.

I’ve often said that a good realtor should be a good community ambassador. So, starting last July, I made it my mission to get involved in my local community — and I’ve had a blast doing it! Here are some photos from various events this past year.

With 2019 coming to a close and 2020 just around the corner, I thought it might be fun to look back at the 2019 winners of my monthly gift card giveaway.

Today, my wife and I collected four carts full of donations (plus $140 in gift cards) for Community Outreach Program Erie (COPE) by hosting a food drive at the entrance of Sobeys in Fort Erie. Anyone who made a donation was offered a free Fort Erie Podcast tee shirt while supplies lasted.

A team of volunteers, which included me, got together today and raised $208.25 for Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Niagara by hosting a charity car wash in the RE/MAX Niagara parking lot.

This week, between appointments, I gave away 48 Popsicles and 48 ice cream sandwiches at various locations around Fort Erie. Residents were able to figure out where I would set up shop next by following my Instagram stories. It was a great opportunity to make a few kids smile and to meet their parents at the same time.
