Making a Difference, One Youth at a Time

"We have been actively involved with several charitable organizations but this is the first opportunity for Plasti-Fab to be invovled with The Holmes Foundation. Having worked with Mike Holmes on an episode he was filming in Canmore, Alberta last year, we had a chance to see firsthand how passionate he is about the industry. Working with Mike was a natural fit as he's a great spokesperson for the industry and his concern for well-trained tradesmen is an issue our company faces every day.
