Growing up during the ‘dot com’ era, Chris translated his interest in cars into developing an automotive website. As he worked his way through university, his website became more successful and he learned to code and design more complex websites.

I had a job that I didn’t really love, so I decided to try freelancing. It was an odd choice because I’m risk averse, but I enjoyed coding and building websites and decided to give it a shot. I didn’t really think of it as a business at first, but continued to get busier and busier until I moved from my basement to an ofice and hiring a team became...

It is so important to network within your community! The Royal partners with all types of businesses for events and activities. Ours is a small community and we work with the spirit of ensuring that it thrives. Our small businesses are a vital part of that.
As an independent movie theatre, we have had to work hard to convince big companies and studios to give us access to movies at the same time as larger theatres. My biggest reward has been that studios now recognize the Royal as one of the theatres that they will give top movies to on opening day.
We had to close our doors, and it broke my heart. However, we quickly realized that this was a perfect opportunity to do the renovations we had been planning. We had the business plan in place, so we gutted the building down to the bricks. We have redesigned the theatre with a larger screen, socially distanced vinyl reclining seating, an enlarged l...
I was fortunate to qualify for multiple government supports. With the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy, I am able to keep my staf, and the Canada Emergency Business Account loan supported us through the pandemic.
