We felt it important to reinvest in not only the building but in the community that put us in a position to be able to do this.”

We’re not here to sell you anything; we’re here to help you purchase something fantastic.” An extensive selection of estate items can be seen on their ever-changing website www.BillLeBoeufJewellers.com. The store offers a number of other services including custom design, gemstone identification, engraving, watch and jewellery repairs. They also purchase gold and other precious metals.

“We love our work,” said Le Boeuf who has been working at the store since he was a teenager when his father was the owner. “I live, breathe and eat this stuff.” Many customers come to the store to commemorate happy occasions, like anniversaries, engagements and weddings, and he said it is fun to be a part of the excitement.

Makers of Fine Jewellery

Not exactly the new kid in town, DC Taylor Jewellers is a family business founded in 1895. Today, the tradition is carried on by brothers Creighton, Paul, Jeff and John Taylor. Their small-town roots have developed to inter-city expansion as the brothers Taylor continue to grow the business from Owen Sound, into Collingwood, and their latest success story in Barrie.

Fine jewellery for over 100 Years.

What’s neW in the jeWellery business? Great-grandfather would love to have seen how much has changed and how much has stayed the same. While traditional diamond cuts are still very popular, we now have innovative new cuts like the Phantom Diamond with 105 facets. It’s the new diamond standard, with more fire and brilliance than ever before. We’re proud to be the only retailer in Canada to offer this new cut.

What branDs DO yOu Carry? We’re picky when it comes to our brands as they reflect the store’s personality and the sensibility of our customers. So you’ll find popular brands like Pandora, balanced with famous names in fine-jewellery like Simon G from Los Angeles and Gabriel & Co. from New York. We have unique bridal designs with a Celtic flavour from MaeVona, Breuning bridal jewellery from Europe and True Romance engagement rings. On the fashion side, people flock to the store for exclusive lines like SOHO, Pesavento, and Nomination from Italy. Of course, DC Taylor has always been a destination for premium watches, including Tudor, Michael Kors and Rolex. 50

PeOPle are surPriseD tO learn: We take a personal interest in every customer. If you walk into a DC Taylor store, you’re more than likely to find a member of the Taylor family on the scene. We don’t subscribe to the philosophy that bigger is always better. So we’ve only grown at a rate that we can manage without compromising the customer’s experience. We’re proud to have the fifth generation working in the stores now.

remember that each piece is more important to our customer than just its monetary value. That’s one reason why we maintain our own repair shop. We take pride in doing that work ourselves rather than farming it out, like most jewellery stores. It shows respect for our customers, and their treasures. We also create custom jewellery for our customers in-house. For example, a bride looking for a one-of-a-kind engagement ring can meet directly with the designer, collaborate on the details, and end up with a ring that’s absolutely perfect. It’s those personal touches that make DC Taylor worthy of a special trip.

What mOtivates yOu tO COme tO WOrk eaCh Day? There’s a tremendous satisfaction in helping a bride find the engagement ring she’ll wear for the rest of her life. Or helping someone choose a spectacular gift for a loved one. These are life-changing moments in the lives of our customers and their families, and we’re honoured to play our small part in them.

About all things we love, have passion for that are super cool & fun

We love great design and want to share what we’ve learned over the years. Beautifully designed objects, furniture and home furnishings, one-of-a-kind stuff, lighting and accessories are all things that inspire us. As architects and designers, we want to be a great resource to you so you can enjoy the things that surround you. Often my husband Keith and I would prowl around junk stores to find treasures mostly to look at and enjoy but occasionally to love and cherish. When we were tossing around ideas for a name for our new venture, Keith was reading an article in the newspaper about a shop that seemed like the kind of shop we were aspiring to be. He suddenly said, ‘You can sell your stuff in the front and I’ll be Red Foxx in the back’. Grasping his heart, feigning a heart attack, ‘It’s the Big One’. Suddenly Red Fox(x) sounded perfect. A homage to Sanford and Son – for those who enjoyed that TV series in the ‘70s. We’re thinking about you, Red. Come in and enjoy the things that we love in the hope that you will share the passion too.

I started in the kitchen as a young boy in Portugal. My grandmother had a catering company and by the time I was 12, I was working part-time in a professional kitchen.

The North Restaurant offers new world cuisine with a contemporary global influence. Our location on Mary Street is two-and-half-times bigger than the original North location. The warm touches from the original home blend perfectly with the luscious fabrics and textures of the updated décor. It is licensed for 140 people, including the patio.

Combined with my culinary training at Humber College, I have been fortunate to do what I love and be acclaimed for my work. My passion for cooking has stayed constant through the years, and I love change, new techniques and challenging my culinary skills. I was honoured to receive the Readers’ Choice Award for favourite chef for 2013, 2014 and 2015.

With the restaurant being flooded with catering requests, the demand led us to offer The North Catering. As an award-winning Chef Marco and his team offer their signature dishes to make your corporate event or private gathering a memorable event that will quickly become a tradition.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to everyone who has supported me over the years.

Feed the Soul, Not the Hunger

WHAT ARE YOUR SIGNATURE DISHES?

Our diners favour our rack of lamb, sea bass, calamari, sushi roll and our prosciutto. It is important to me to create a diverse and ever-changing menu and diners enjoy the variety offered. I like to intrigue people by dabbling in new foods and being on the cutting edge, with a mind to always maintaining and enhancing the fine dining experience.

WHAT’S THE ONE THING PEOPLE NEED TO TRY BEFORE LEAVING YOUR ESTABLISHMENT? People rave about our desserts. We like to treat our customers and when they leave we want them to feel that they have had a special experience. We have been known to delight groups with an element of surprise in our presentation. Great traditions are grandmother’s mouthwatering butter tarts, warm chocolate lava cake, and my personal favourite, banana cream pie.

WHAT’S THE STRANGEST THING YOU’VE EVER EATEN?

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE INGREDIENT?

At The North, we love to try new things such as our Wild Game Festival in the fall that introduces sensational dishes that accentuate the unique taste of kangaroo, wild boar, squab, and venison. I enjoy shaking things up.

That has to be our beef as we dry age our beef, which is an involved process that makes the beef tastier and more tender. We are the only local kitchen to dry age ribeye and striploin for 45 days and the results are worth the effort. Fresh ingredients and unique products from Chinatown or farmers’ markets are also inspiring with their abundance of unique textures, colours and aromas.

Initially researching skin cancer, he stumbled upon the effects of L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) in

helping to prevent sun and free radical damage. He discovered that the use of a daily antioxidant serum in addition to sunscreen not only further helps protect the skin but combats and prevents visible, premature signs of aging. Today, Pinnel’s Vitamin C serum is one of the most important antioxidant formulations in skincare.

Beyond Expectation This last year has seen a multitude of changes at Mike Guilbault Photography. Our new location has worked out beyond expectations with many new prints on display in our Fine Art Gallery. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also created a brand new, totally redesigned website. The new website focuses on our three main genres of portraiture; Fine Art Black & White, Environmental, and Studio Classics. The new online galleries are beautiful. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a special section for Boudoir Portraiture and, of course, Pets! Please visit our galleries to view the possibilities we can offer you and your family. As we say, fine art portraiture is an investment in your family.

WhErE DiD You rEcEivE Training? Training came mostly from studying with other master photographers throughout Canada and the US. But training never stops, especially in this digital age. Attending workshops, seminars and networking with photographers is a continuous endeavour.

I’ve been honoured to earn the Master of Photographic Arts award from the Professional Photographers of Canada, and just recently the Master Photographer in Fine Art designation from Master Photographers International.

WhaT inSpirED You To ExplorE Your FiElD?

I’ve always had an interest in photography. My father had a part-time studio while working in the army and I guess I picked up the passion from him.

I have a photo, it’s on my website, of me at about two or three years old holding a camera – not a toy either! It’s been part of me all my life. It’s not just what I do, it’s who I am.

WhaT’S ThE onE SErvicE or proDucT pEoplE ShoulD TrY BEForE lEaving Your BuSinESS?

I would have to say to examine some of the new papers and canvas that we’re printing on. They are extraordinary, both to the touch as well as visually. They’re also archival and the resulting prints can last well over 100 years. We do all our printing in-house, from wallets to wall size. This way we can control the quality from start to finish.

WhaT’S Your BuSinESS philoSophY? To provide the best experience we can and create a portrait worthy to hang in a prominent place of your home. A portrait that demonstrates not only the love within a family, but the individual personalities as well.

WhaT’S ThE SEcrET To Your SuccESS? Delivering beyond the expectation of my clients.

We wholeheartedly recommend Alicia to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Barrie area. We wouldn’t have our current house if not for her hard work and determination to see the deal go our way, and the fact that she had our old house sold in 12 hours was a big bonus too! We have nothing but good things to say about Alicia and look forward to working with her on our next move. - Ashley & Brad
