NEW ACADIA INSIGHTS PODCAST! 🎙️

This episode of the Insights Podcast features an interesting conversation with Mike Cassidy, the CEO of the Cassidy Group which owns Coach Atlantic, Maritime Bus, and T3 Transit. The Cassidy Group is the largest family-owned motorcoach company in Canada and has more than 250 pieces of equipment in its fleet of buses and more than 800 employees. Coach Atlantic is a dominant player in the chartered bus sector in the region, while Maritime Bus provides regularly scheduled bus service on 14 routes to 40 communities across the three Maritime Provinces. If you noticed any of Coach Atlantic or Maritime Buses, the fleet is virtually new, with most buses in their fleet being less than five years old. This is part of the company’s strategies to manage capital efficiently. To that end, in 2024, Cassidy committed to buying 100 buses from Prevost, the Quebec based bus manufacturer. The cost of each bus today is $800,000. Cassidy also serves the cruise ship business in both Charlottetown and Halifax, has interests in agriculture through Van Kampen Nurseries and real estate development in Charlottetown. His entrepreneurial story is very interesting as a Halifax born, Saint Mary’s graduate who began his career as a chartered accountant in PEI. Enjoy!

NEW ACADIA INSIGHTS PODCAST! 🎙️

Our guest on this episode of the Insights Podcast is Mike Whittaker, until recently the CEO and Co-Owner of TruCorp. TruCorp is the Truro based holding company that was owned by Mike and his partner Bill Hay until he sold his shares. Trucorp had two main holdings Bonte Foods, the federally certified meat manufacturer in Dieppe and Grinner’s Food Systems, which owns Greco Pizza, as well as Capt. Submarine and Forzu Frozen Yogurt. Mike has an interesting personal story, joining Trucorp as a marketing specialist, before over time becoming a 33 percent equity owner of the company. Under his leadership, Greco Pizza grew from less than ten outlets to 120 outlets around Atlantic Canada and became the number one pizza brand in the region with annual sales of over $50 million and more than a thousand employees. He introduced Grecoville and the thirty minute delivery promise and the memorable marketing tagline “Greco 310-30-30” that is still being used thirty years after its introduction. At the same time, Mike helped expand Bonte Foods through the acquisition of the Chris Brothers brand of deli meats. TruCorp sold its interest in Bonte in 2020 and Mike sold his equity in TruCorp a couple of years ago. It is a fascinating story of business success that is mostly unknown. Enjoy!

NEW ACADIA INSIGHTS PODCAST! 🎙️

On this week’s Insights Podcast, veteran oil & gas executive, Jim Livingstone, the CEO of RC Energy makes a compelling case for the development of the onshore natural gas in the three Maritime Provinces, which combined have estimated reserves of more than 200 TCF (Trillion Cubic Feet), the equivalent of the natural gas in the Permian Basin in West Texas, considered one of the most prolific gas producing regions in the US. One TCF is enough natural gas to heat all the houses in Canada that currently use natural gas for two years. It could also be used to develop an LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) sector in our region, replacing the natural gas currently being imported. Livingstone has developed a drilling methodology that does not use hydrofracking to drill for shale gas. His method is based on using air to extract the gas and eliminates many of the concerns associated with hydrofracking. He insists that the type of shale basin in our region, derived from ancient lakes rather than most shale basins elsewhere, which are derived from ancient oceans, results in a much more densely compacted clay content, making it less suitable for hydrofracking. He claims it is one of the reasons previous drilling programs have failed in New Brunswick. This conversation is fascinating and could potentially lead to unlocking over $400 billion worth of natural gas in the Maritimes, thereby removing opposition to natural gas development in our region.

We’re beyond proud of our Thunder Bay team, who were honored by the city Monday night with the Community Champion Award for their incredible work on the 36 Hours of Cheer fundraiser.

NEW ACADIA INSIGHTS PODCAST! 🎙️

On this episode of the Insights podcast, Don and David speak with Mark Gaddas, owner and President of Woodstock, New Brunswick-based Ironwood Manufactured Homes Inc. The company recently announced a large-scale expansion to help it meet the demand for housing in New Brunswick, Maine and beyond. Mark tells us his new facility will be the largest manufacturing plant in Woodstock. We discuss the role of manufactured housing in addressing housing demand, the challenges of recruiting staff in small towns, and the regulatory barriers impacting the sector. As a share of GDP, New Brunswick has the largest manufactured housing sector among the 10 provinces in Canada. The Ironwood expansion and other developments point to this being a potential growth sector for the province in the years ahead.
