One of the most interesting phases of our family business, was when clients asked us to design and build public displays.      We've built static and working displays, for many departments of the Canadian Government, as well as the private sector, either to promote public awareness to environmental issues, or to demonstrate the working of a particular piece of mechanical equipment.     The opening of the New Mirabel Airport in Montreal in 1980, saw a number of our mechanical displays, the most challenging being a completely hydraulically operated "Traveling Pallet Loader (TPL), which continually moved along it's tracks, loading miniature containers on and off, electrically powered roll decks.

By far the most enjoyable were the "Christmas" displays.      Our project one year, was a complete Train, where Santa sat in the engine, and the children sat in the cars, waiting to visit him, and have their photograph taken.      Unfortunately, most of these seasonal displays, cost us more money to build, than we ever got back.      We all enjoyed building them so much, that it was hard to say no, but as our work load increased in the motorsport field, we unfortunately had to dis-continue this aspect of our business.    OUR VERY OWN HALLOWEEN ATTRACTION

The Christmas Display featured below, was the last one we built.     It was for the Richmond Square Shopping Centre, here in our home town.       It was Called "The Christmas Village" and was displayed for I believe, 4 consecutive years, before it was eventually retired.
