A great shot of downtown Kitchener. What would you guess the 1940's by the cars and the fashion of the day? Check out the Carling Brewery truck heading back up King to Waterloo. (And no traffic lights at the corner of KIng and Queen; that's the Walper Hotel on the left.) Carling's sadly took over the Kuntz Brewery in the mid-1930s.

Congrats to Harley Davidson for launching its new line of electric motorcycles. This product has been named Livewire.

With no Christmas Party this Saturday evening, many employees have asked can they still donate a toy to our annual Toy Drive to assist needy children here in Waterloo Region through the Salvation Army’s Annual Toy Drive. For anyone who would like to donate an unwrapped toy we will be collecting toys in the ESG Boardroom (HR) from Monday, December 7th Friday, December 11th; with the Salvation Army picking up the toys from KEI this year.

Re: Employee Appreciation Day - slight postponement to Sept 30th, 2020 Sadly our vendor's equipment (Todd's Dogs from Woodstock) was involved in the fire at Woodstock Fairgrounds this past week and asked if we could change our date to accommodate his losses due to this fire and host our day Sept 30th instead. Thus sad to announce our Employee Appreciation Day has been postponed to Sept 30 for days and evenings; Oct 1 for nights. ... Sorry, for any inconvenience. Donna
