Business Cares



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.

The Georgian Bay General Hospital (GBGH) Foundation is proud to welcome IHD Design Build as a new Business Cares Strategic Partner, thanks to their commitment of $25,000 over five years to help the Midland hospital make excellent care personal. 

 

IHD Design Build is a boutique design studio and custom home builder serving the Georgian Bay region, known for creating distinctive, thoughtfully designed homes tailored to each client. With more than 20 years of experience in the industry, the company was recently purchased by three dedicated employees — Jacob Lalonde, Brad Hauser, and Shana Payne — bringing fresh energy while continuing a legacy of quality, trust, and craftsmanship. 

“As new business owners, giving back to the community where we live and work is incredibly important to us,” says Lalonde. “Supporting the GBGH Foundation felt like a natural choice.” 

“Almost everyone in our community will need care at GBGH at some point in their lives,” adds Hauser. “A strong hospital is essential to a strong community.” 

“And as builders, we believe in investing in the places that support people for the long term,” says Payne. “This partnership is our way of helping ensure local care is there when it’s needed most.” 

What sets IHD Design Build apart is its true turn-key approach. The team offers in-house architectural design, engineering coordination, and high-quality construction under one roof, delivering a calm, collaborative, and transparent experience from start to finish. From custom new builds and large-scale renovations to light commercial projects, IHD Design Build is driven by a passion for artistry, technical expertise, and thoughtful detail — creating spaces their clients truly love to live in. 

Through this partnership, IHD Design Build becomes part of the We See You campaign, a $20‑million community‑driven initiative focused on strengthening care at GBGH and ensuring every patient is seen, supported, and cared for — inside and out. 

“IHD Design Build’s commitment reflects a genuine desire to invest in the well-being of the community they’re helping to shape,” says Robyn Blanchet, Key Relationships Officer, GBGH Foundation. “As new owners, Jacob, Brad, and Shana are leading with purpose — recognizing that strong communities are built not only through beautiful spaces, but through accessible, compassionate health care for everyone.” 

Through Business Cares, IHD Design Build joins a growing network of local businesses who see the importance of health care and choose to invest in its future. Together, these partners are helping to build a stronger hospital — and a stronger community — for the families, neighbours, and teams who depend on GBGH.
