Hello Friends,
Once again this year our local Community Futures is partnering with the Bancroft & District Chamber of Commerce to bring to the community the SERVICE EXCELLENCE CELEBRATION. 

Last year many businesses were nominated for this award, THE OLD TIN SHED being one.  We pride ourselves in our customer service delivery and we hope that our customers feel that we are providing exceptional service.

If you DO feel this way about our service, we would like to ask you to nominate us for this prestigious award again this year.  The story you write is what will help determine whether or not we win the award in October.  Last year’s winners were local Marina owners who had gone above and beyond the call of duty for their customers…a well-deserved reward.

We would like to be that winner this year!  If you have had great service from us at THE OLD TIN SHED, we would respectfully ask that you submit your story to excellence@community-futures.
ca or via regular mail to: Community Futures Dev. Corp, 26 Chemaushgon Road, P.O. Box 517, Bancroft, ON K0L 1C0

We look forward to continuing to provide excellence in customer service, whether we win the award or not!  The award will be the icing on the cake!

We love to hear your feedback regardless…we are very open to it and to ideas for improvement.
Respectfully,

Dagny & Janis
& staff at
THE OLD TIN SHED
