Randy Abel, Chris' sponsor into the club introduced him as a longtime friend. Chris grew up in Dundas and graduated from Highland Secondary School. Chris loves sports and oversees the Dundas Men's Slow Pitch League.
Upon leaving high school Chris was hired into a portable toilet rental business. Not the plastic type but the kind that celebrities and dignitaries would expect if they were throwing a party. Chris is now a partner in, "Room To Go". And go the business has! Over the last 15 years it has gone from 20 portable units to well over 200 with several units costing in excess of $80 000 to manufacture. It is nothing for the company to use a crane to lift a massive unit over a house and place it in a back yard for a huge wedding celebration.
Chris gave some interesting facts about his units. He buys the completed units or retrofits just the shells from a company in Texas. The construction market is his largest client base although weddings and galas are substantial. At a wedding he also supplies two service folks dressed in fine clothes to ensure the facilities are always clean. Oh, by the way, the law says if the waste is made in a particular region it must be disposed of in that region's sewage plant.
Room To Go ships from Windsor to Sudbury to Kingston and even set up at Deerhurst for the G20 Summit of world leaders.
