Staff BBQ a Hit!
Each month we host a staff bbq, it's normally the end of the month and we have divided the company into groups. Each group is given a certain month to host, plan the menu, shop for groceries, prep and cook, serve and clean. This month was my group and we had a blast! Our menu consisted of grilled chicken breasts on fresh buns, corn on the cob, potato salad, beans, veggies, watermelon, chips and cookies. WE WERE FULL! Shout out to Glenn Gulak for manning the grill for two hours on one of the hottest days of summer!
Cheers CTR! We can't wait for the next staff meal!!
$12,000 Raised!
On June 21, 2017 we held our 4th annual Customer Appreciation and Open House Fundraiser! It was an amazing day; we had over 550 people in attendance and we raised $12,000 for the Children's Hospital! Funds raised via an awesome silent auction with 14 large prizes, a grand prize draw, Plinko, Mini-Putt and ice cream sales. CTR is proud to announce that we matched every dollar raised!!
Other event highlights included delicious food provided by our three food trucks: Walleye Wagon, Habanero Sombrero and Mikky's. Guests raved about the meals so thank you to the teams of Dave, Mark and Don for your fantastic food and friendly service. We also had a trade show with 17 various automotive and Carrier supplier booths, guests were given passports to cruise around and meet each supplier.

Building a Reefer is a Piece of Cake!
Check this out! We have a very talented baker on our hands! Cheryl Wiebe created a Vector 8500 refrigeration unit! Cheryl spent 11 hours on this baby and the Carrier Transicold representatives and CTR staff were over-the-moon happy with her hard work! When Ron Roberts from Carrier saw the cake he burst out "Building a reefer is a piece of cake!!" LOL! Very clever! But not sure Cheryl would agree....:)
Cheers to Cheryl on a job well done!!!
Cheryl has been with CTR for going on three years, she focuses on warranty administration, invoicing, monthly billings and customer bookings. Cheryl demonstrates not only an excellent work ethic but she always has a smile and ready to help the team in every way possible and this cake proves that!!!
