Member Spotlight: Stop the Press...for Serendipity Soy Candles!

 

It's time to stop and smell the candles! Downtown Oakville's newest destination for Canadian-made hand-poured soy candles, Serendipity, was featured in the latest edition of WEST of the City magazine, a recognized and sought-after, stylish publication. In January's copy, WEST celebrates the uniqueness of and shines a spotlight on all of the amazing offerings at Serendipity Soy Candles.

 

Serendipity has a library featuring over 200 scents for all occasions, available in an array of sizes. At Serendipity, they are dedicated to reaching the masses. That means offering an affordably priced product for more than just a lucky few to enjoy. They are committed to showing people how awesome and easy it is to make better purchasing decisions as a consumer and safely burn and enjoy a candle in their home that is safe and clean burning.

 

If you haven't already, now is the perfect time to light your way to some “absolutely amazing” smells, so be sure to pop in to welcome Jennifer and the rest of the Serendipity team in their new location at 302B Lakeshore Road East.

Thanks to John Ziemba for his many years of serving on the BIA Board!

 

After many years of serving as a volunteer with the Downtown Oakville BIA, John Ziemba, owner of Black Forest Bakery, is ending his term with the Board.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, the BIA team, and our members, we'd like to express our sincere gratitude to John for all of his passion and his contributions to our community over the past years.

Over the years, John has volunteered his time and expertise to support the BIA team and Board in so many ways. John has always been the 'voice of the merchants', clearly and passionately representing his fellow members. He played a key role in bringing the BIA's new vision and brand strategy to life. John's insights, humour, passion (and cookies at the meetings!) will be missed by the Board, team, and community alike. We wish him the very best in what is to come.

Please join us in thanking John for his many contributions over the years to the Downtown Oakville BIA. He will most certainly be missed. But, of course, you can still find him at Black Forest Bakery!
