Canadian Leak Detection’s annual conference took place March 24th – 27th at the Miramonte Spa & Resort in Indian Wells, California. During the four-day event, several franchisees were honored for their milestones during a special awards ceremony.

“It is a great feeling to be honored in front of my fellow franchisees and the entire Canadian Leak Detection team for my hard work and efforts in establishing my local leak detection business,” Gavel said. “Running a business can be challenging, but I thank my colleagues and my customers for their continued support.”

Aside from recognizing award recipients, Canadian Leak Detection invited successful entrepreneurs and motivational speakers to the gathering. Keynote Speaker George Hedley, CSP, owner of a successful commercial construction and real estate development company, led a seminar on how to build a business. George founded and built his business from $0 to $50 million in seven years.

Other experts spoke on a wide variety of topics. Moisture Control, Inc. CEO and Owner Hank Bruflodt spoke to attendees about how his business has been helping solve concrete slab moisture and floor problems for over 10 years. Communication and stress management expert Mary Marcdante spoke about how enthusiasm is the core to great leadership. And, Nancy Friedman, known as the “Telephone Doctor,” held a seminar designed to help owners communicate better with customers.

“Our main goal with this year’s conference was to give our franchisees a wealth of information about how they can build success in the leak detection industry,” said Stan Berenbaum, president of Canadian Leak Detection. “We also wanted to put a spotlight on franchisees like Paul, who have really excelled in this business. They are examples of what success is all about.”

Toronto Storm Sewer By-Law Update: Be Aware that it is currently illegal to pump water from a swimming pool into a City of Toronto storm sewer. Pool companies and consumers are subject to a $5,000 fine per incident. The City of Toronto, in conjunction with the Pool & Hot Tub Council of Canada and the Metropolitan Toronto Conservation Authority have developed some pending legislation that will change the way we remove water from a swimming pool. The legislation is designed to protect the environment and allow swimming pool companies to pump swimming pool water to storm sewers again. However, the pending legislation is not expected to be passed until early July 2008 and will be enforced immediately. Until that time, no pumping of swimming pool water into a storm sewer will be allowed.

Note: Current legislation does not affect the pumping of water from the top of a pool cover in the Spring. Pool cover water is deemed natural and can be pumped into the storm sewer provided it is debris free. Also: Water that can be pumped onto and contained on a consumers lawn or water that can be pumped into the sanitary sewer is not governed by these new criteria. Pending New Legislation: The pending new legislation will dictate the condition of the water that can be pumped into the cities storm sewers. As part of the legislation, the Pool & Hot Tub Council will produce a document and make training available to assist swimming pool companies to attain compliance once the legislation has passed.
