In October Bob Pedler Real Estate Inc. welcomed with “open arms” Arms Bumanlag, REALTOR to its brokerage. He has partnered up with multimillion dollar producer and 38 year industry veteran Ron Deneau in the Amherstburg location, servicing all of Windsor Essex and Chatham Kent. Bumanlag has been working as marketing lead and an executive assistant for Deneau since May of 2022. “I have devoted most of my life to service through compassion and authenticity in my profession and in my community, as an broadcaster and community advocate, and to affiliate with the Bob Pedler Real Estate brand and partnering with Ron Deneau, who is known for excellence in the industry, aligns perfectly with my personal and professional goals — staying connected to the YQG area and providing relatable, personable and amazing service,” says Bumanlag. Deneau adds: “Arms is a welcome addition to my business and I can’t wait to see where this goes as I continue to work with him and grow.” To learn more about the brokerage go to: PedlerRealEstate.ca.

The Windsor-Essex Regional Chamber of Commerce and the BBB Serving Western Ontario have announced a new partnership with a unified goal of creating a stronger, cohesive, and ethical business community. The two unique, yet complementary, organizations are now offering substantial cost savings to their potential and current members. The partnership allows for BBB Accredited businesses in the Windsor Essex area,, who are not currently members of the chamber, to join the CONNECTOR Tier with a 50% discount, and conversely, allow for all chamber members to apply for BBB Accreditation and, once approved, receive a 50% discount applied to their scaled dues. The offer is also available to existing members of either group, and applied to new applications. Osmosis Glow, a custom neon sign business, founded and operated by Chayron Rennie, began back in March 2021. “I noticed that within Windsor, there seemed to be a lack of custom neon signage and so I undertook the task to bring this service to the region,” indicates Rennie. “My mission is to be a part of every significant life occurrence, directly or indirectly, through the process of osmosis.” Signs were originally created out of Rennie’s bedroom (after all a pandemic was going on!) until September 2021when a move into a shop at 315 Pelissier Street, above the Capitol Theatre in Windsor was made. “Since soft launching I have created 200+ signs, at an affordable price, working with customers of all walks of life and signs for many different occasions (weddings, baby showers, gifts) including well known local businesses and organizations (DWBIA, The Bull & Barrel, Wild Child, Mister Style, WIFF and more),” Rennie states. And, as of September 2022, there’s more good news with the addition of a new website — OsmosisGlow.com — where neon sign lovers can create their own signs online and pick up directly at the shop three weeks after ordering. Congrats Chayron!
