Client Success Story: Josée Gallant-Gordon & Bobby Gordon
In 2017 when Josee Gallant-Gordon and her husband Bobby Gordon decided to purchase Bobby’s family farm, the Rural Action Centre in Alberton proved to be an invaluable resource to them in more ways than one.
“Any time we participate at any of the many services available at RAC, we are greeted with warmth and genuine interest in our business, and you can feel the desire for businesses to succeed,” says Josee.
Today, the couple owns Elm Grove Farm, which provides breeding services and raising Standardbred Horses. In addition, Elm Grove Farm is the central location where Elm Grove Centre provides Mental Health Services. It is a collaboration of their love of horses and a passion for mental health. Check out their full client success story HERE.
Contact the Client Information Officer in your local centre if we can be of assistance.
