Federal funds for Deslaurier Custom Cabinets Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant recently visited Deslaurier Custom Cabinets in Renfrew to make a Community Futures Development Corporation – Renfrew County funding announcement. A total of $11,907, from the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario’s Eastern Ontario Development Program, was administered by CFDC for two projects — computer automated design training for new software, and server upgrades for critical-data storage. “The funding is basically about skills development and integrity of data,” said DCC purchasing manager Chris Havey. Later, Havey describes some of the technology in the Renfrew plant to local CFDC vice-president Darrel Ryan and Gallant, as DCC co-owners Denis Staples and Jim Deslaurier look on. The company employs about 100 staff in Renfrew and another 30 through its Ottawa design centre and service depot. STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND

Thanks to Chantel Rudy and her new business, Safe Haven Home Health Care, people who might otherwise be forced to move, can continue to live in the comfort of their own home. “I basically go into peopleʼs homes and assist them with everything they need,” Rudy said Rudy has operated her business since January. She had previously worked at Groves Park Lodge in Renfrew. “I just decided that a lot of people want to stay in their own homes, and need the help to do so.” Rudy said. “As long as they are healthy enough, they want to stay where they are comfortable.” She has about five clients right now and is available during days, evenings and weekends. “Basically, itʼs a 24-hour job,” she said, made
business,” she said. “They want the same person coming in, not someone different all the time,” Rudy said of her clients, adding that they gain a trust with the same person. Sheʼs not planning on hiring any staff at this time. Itʼs not just the elderly that Safe Haven Home Health Care provides service to. Respite care, post-hospital care, companion service, light house keeping, preparing meals and activities of daily living are services Rudy provides. Right now, Rudy plans to keep her office in her home at 26 Freamo Lane in Renfrew. That way, she is home more and doesnʼt have to hire a babysitter for her kids, she said.
