The Transition
Four Decades Later
1985: Brand New Truck
Back then pickup trucks were much more rare then they are today! Our first new truck was truly an accomplishment for our family!
1988: The Kids
The kids grew up in these old pickup trucks and they were always excited to play in them with Dad after a long week.
1993: Noreen and John
The true pioneers of GJ MacRae Foundation Repair, Noreen and John MacRae. They created a family business from “the seed up”.
1975: Odd-Jobs
Ottawa’s Carleton Place contracted John MacRae and brother Don MacRae for many fulfilling years of reliable repairs and service.
1981: Early Connections
A reference from Bob Patterson of CFRB (now Newstalk 1010 / Bell Media). An excellent opportunity for John in the early years.
1976: Town Hall
Another trusted repair by John and Don MacRae on the Carleton Place Town Hall. Referrals have always been an integral part of our success.
