Hello my name is Doug Daher
I owned and operated a foam injection manufacturing plant in Winnipeg, Manitoba for 23 years. We manufactured products for Polaris, Arctic Cat, OEM parts, indoor playground parts and medical components. We designed and made our own Wheelchair accessories and special needs components which sold internationally. Our strength was to take on the jobs that other companies struggled with or could not handle.
In 2017 I sold my business. It was time for my wife and I to move to a place with a less harsh climate than Winnipeg (not hard to do) and the ability to participate in year-round outdoor activities. We drove through BC’s mountains, the interior, lower mainland and over to Vancouver Island. Every place that we went was beautiful but just didn’t feel right.
My Aunt, Uncle and Cousin had moved to Powell River years ago, so I decided it was time to pay them a visit. I had never been to Powell River and had no idea how much it had to offer. Powell River has the warm coastal weather, less rain than Vancouver, hut to hut hiking, this Seaside City has everything that I need. Hundreds of miles of hiking and mountain biking trails that you can do year-round, the Ocean, large freshwater lakes, fishing, the list goes on and on!!
I moved and it is even better than I hoped for. Such friendly people and I am now able to take advantage of some of the activities here. I learned how to mountain bike and joined the Powell River Cycling Association. I run trails, paddle board, kayak, swim, hike and went snowshoeing for the first time, I am even on a Dragon Boat Team, life is good by the Sea.
When I owned my own business, I would only sell what I believed in. I believe that Powell River is one of the best places on the planet to live. I joined 2% Realty Sunshine Coast because I believe that people should be able to keep their money in their pockets and I like what 2% Realty stands for. I truly believe this is a great place to live, raise a family and retire…and then run, bike, hike, and swim some more. I would love to share this with you, just give me a call.
