Celebrating 40 Years of Adventure by Giving Back to Local Hospital

The Georgian Bay General Hospital (GBGH) Foundation is proud to welcome Factory Recreation as a Business Cares Strategic Partner, as the locally owned business marks 40 years of adventure by giving back to the community that has supported them for decades.

 

As part of their anniversary celebration in 2026, Factory Recreation is launching a special give‑back initiative in support of the local hospital. For every new transaction on a 2026 model purchased in‑store, Factory Recreation will donate $100 to the GBGH Foundation, helping to fund urgently needed equipment and technology at GBGH. This initiative also aligns with the company’s recent commitment as a Strategic Partner through the Foundation’s Business Cares program.

“We love our Georgian Bay community and take pride in providing friendly, knowledgeable service for all your snow-covered and warm weather adventures,” says Doug Sagan, who co-owns Factory Recreation with Donny Woods. “Partnering with the GBGH Foundation allows us to give back to the people who make this region so special, ensuring everyone has access to quality health care — local residents and seasonal visitors alike.”

Serving Southern Georgian Bay, Factory Recreation is one of Ontario’s largest dealers of Ski‑Doo and Sea‑Doo vehicles, as well as ATVs, UTVs, boats, and more. From new and pre‑owned inventory to a full parts and service department, their factory‑trained technicians help ensure every vehicle runs safely and efficiently — whether for sun or snow. For four decades, Factory Recreation has supported a true four‑season lifestyle, building lasting relationships with customers across the region.

Through the GBGH Foundation’s Business Cares program, Factory Recreation is deepening its commitment to local health care as a Strategic Partner, investing $25,000 over five years, while marking its 40th anniversary with a give‑back initiative that supports urgently needed equipment and technology at Georgian Bay General Hospital.

“Factory Recreation’s commitment reflects a genuine understanding of what it means to be part of a community — celebrating milestones while reinvesting in the people and places that make those milestones possible,” says Robyn Blanchet, key relationships officer, GBGH Foundation. “Their support helps ensure our hospital has the tools and technology needed to deliver excellent, compassionate care for our growing four-season community.”

Through Business Cares, Factory Recreation joins a growing network of local businesses who recognize that investing in health care is an investment in the future of the community — today and for generations to come.
