Entrepreneurs rise up in Oakville

Enjoyed a great meeting this morning at my friend Grace Attard's hot new entrepreneurial incubator - e-Spot. (www.e-spot.ca).  Thought I'd share contact information for some of the really bright folks I met there.  After all, that's the whole purpose of networking right?
So, if you're looking for someone to help with the design/build of your commercial space check out Cameron Johnson's company, Finishing FX Inc.  Reach Cam at finishingfx@rogers.com or call 416.822.3512.
Are you a woman seeking to bring out all that true inner beauty through an alternative, entertaining fitness program?  Then visit Jane Wilson's website, Aradiafitness.com and log on to the Oakville franchise.  Or you can write her at oakville@aradiafitness.com or call on 905.844.7746.
Tina Gilbert is a woman with lots of stuff on the go.  You can learn more about her enterprising ways at either www.lusciousbubbles.com or www.thewomenpreneur.com where she is Editor in Chief.  You could also call her at 416.500.7997 or write tina@thewomenpreneur.com
A talented artist (painter, sculptor, illustrator) is Bert Jackson who's work can be seen on www.bertjackson.ca.  Write him at bert@bertjackson.ca or call 416.890.4391. If you've seen the great Moose/Wolf sculpture in Oakville you've seen some of his work.  Oh, he can fix you up with some great tats too!!
On the real estate front, Gina Burgio is ready and able to assist you with your mortgage and housing needs as she's just taking over the operation of the Coldwell Banker shop in Oakville.  Visit her at www.ginaburgio.net or write gina@ginaburgio.net.  Better still, give her a bell at 905.825.7777.
Almost finally, providing insightful professional advice is Angela Galer-Grist, Investment Advisor and Financial Planner with BMO Nesbitt Burns.  You can reach her by writing angela.galergrist@nbpcd.com or visiting www.angelagalergrist.com.  Phone too on 416.359.7099.
Penultimately finally, there were two other people there too whose info I failed to secure but one is a fitness dude and the other provides financial counselling on behalf of RBC.  I'm sure if you contacted the e-spot they could hook you up.
Finally, keep up the good work Grace.  You're doing a terrific job.
