Were able to repair it and continue work but also keeping an eye on hose needing a clamp. Finished job quickly and brought it back early. Mentioned starter repair and clamp needing replacement, but otherwise were completely satisfied as we got the job done. They insisted on a refund as it was "not a good experience." It was not a bad experience either! Just did not want to be dinged for the repairs. But so impressed that they felt it important that they leave a good impression. Will definitely use them for future equipment needs. Staff were helpful and friendly at both ends of the transaction.

None of them had what we wanted in stock, a basic Whirlpool stove. Even if they could order it, we were looking at a couple of weeks minimum before delivery. We needed the stove within 6 days so the special 70th birthday party could happen! Our appliance repair man suggested Brown's, so we called them. They had the model in stock and were able to deliver it in 5 days! They gave us a very good price on the stove and the delivery. The truck came when promised, the men installed our new stove and took away the old one. They did everything smoothly, no scratches anywhere, took away all the garbage, even the stickers. They were very friendly and professional. I would recommend them for any type of appliance.

After 30-some-odd years the mustard-yellow, wire-shelved fridge in the family cottage was ready to…read moreretire. But the Lakes region isn't the kind of place where you can run over to Sears or Home Depot, pick out an appliance for delivery, and be done with it. We were struggling with how to replace that 1970s behemoth as we strolled around Port Carling when at the top of the hill rose Brown's Appliances. Brown's is a throwback to the small town Maytag store, family-owned and operated. Our sales associate, Jennifer, was extremely helpful throughout the entire process of selecting the refrigerators (we decided to replace the defunct mini-fridge in the bunkie as well), having the old ones hauled away, and installing the new. We appreciated her constant communication, particularly on the morning of delivery when it turned out the model of fridge we'd selected was only available in black in their warehouse. Jennifer assured us she was sending out a comparable model in white. In a typically American fashion, I suppose, we suspected a bait-and-switch, Googled the subbed-in model, and discovered its retail price was actually about $100 more than the one we'd originally selected. Brown's honesty and willingness to make up for their error really impressed us. We were equally impressed by the two burly men (one of whom was Jennifer's brother) who came and took the old refrigerators out *without* a dolly or hand truck. It couldn't have been easier, more pleasant, or any cheaper to have replaced a massive appliance in a part of Canada where even gas stations are few and far between. And we couldn't be happier with our gleaming, brand spankin' new beauty.

These are some of the wild animals living at Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary. Some animals can be rehabilitated and released, others are permanent residents. These animals are so lucky to be in this wonderful sanctuary, where they are well cared for. This sanctuary depends on donations, gifts and volunteers to survive. To visit you must book a time via email, and make a $30 donation. To volunteer your time, you must fill out an application and be 18 years or older. The sanctuary has moved all of its birds to an Ontario bird sanctuary, and now focuses only on indigenous mammals. We have been visiting The Aspen Valley Sanctuary for at least 15 years, many years ago there was some odd and uncouth management, but 6 years ago Howard Smith was contacted by the Ontario Government and took the job and turned the place around! I always prefer to support a sanctuary than a zoo!
