Sponsored Location: The Westwood at Gladstone Ridge – Gladstone St.

The leadership of Danny Chedrawe and Westwood developments have led the way for other property management and developers to consider the win, win, win for having CarShareHFX OnsiteTM . This solution allows for an extra amenity for the residents and a parking space for CarShareHFX and a viable solution for parking constraints in developments and contributing to carsharing in Halifax. Thanks Danny.

CarShareHFX wouldn't exist without Mike Velemirovich of Hillcrest VW and Hillcrest KIA on Kempt Rd. He introduced Peter Zimmer and Pam Cooley, the duo who developed CarShareHFX. He contributed advice, meeting space, car lot, electronic installation support and encouragement. Thanks Mike, it has been a ride!

Toyota Matrixes are seen as one of the best cars in the carshare industry in NA. Thanks Sean for contributing to the winter upkeep of the cars, our Opening launch event on December 4th and continued advice on this complicated auto industry.
