Owners Mike and Linda Wilson saw the
business model at the International Franchise
Show over 17 years ago and loved the unique
concept. “We wanted to share the fact that
everyday consumers could purchase at
wholesale prices,” Mike explained. “Buying
at the manufacturers selling cost is now avail-
able to anyone who wants the opportunity.”
DirectBuy offers products for every room in
the house whether it be kitchen renovations,
cabinetry, bathroom fixtures, furniture, and
accessories including art, mirrors, picture
frames, crystal and china, all without retail
markup and middlemen costs.
Every product sold also comes with a service
to go along with it; for example, if you buy
flooring, a furnace or window treatments,
DirectBuy of Mississauga has certified licensed
installers. “The installers, for the most part,
are members of our club who own their own
business and offer a discount on their ser-
vice,” Linda says. “Our standards for customer
service excellence are assert integrity, act with
courtesy, deliver value and be professional.”
Our mission is to be the recognized
International Leader in providing the best
alternative to conventional retail buying.
DirectBuy is the largest and most powerful
buyers club in North America. “We see Direct-
Buy getting better every year. With a revamped
website, the online shopping experience
is second to none,” Linda says. As more
consumers use the Internet more purchases
will be made online.
At present, 40 percent of all purchases
are fulfilled online. “Our Corporate Support
Centre has many talented people who have
come up with great online experiences for
members; for example, club exclusives,
coupons for even further discounts for new
members as well as adding more manufacturer
showrooms to our roster for members to touch
and feel the products.”
“We envision more integration with home
builders and real estate professionals as
they are in direct contact with our potential
members.”
Wanting to be central to their territory,
which expands from Burlington to Etobicoke
and from Lake Ontario to north of Orangeville,
the Oakville residents chose Mississauga for
their business location.
Since DirectBuy has united the buying
power for hundreds of thousands of families
their members have access to confidential
dealer prices. “In other words, an individual
member has as much buying power as any of
the largest retailers in North America!”
In today’s economy, consumers are looking
not only to save money on their purchases, but
also want the ability to upgradetheir purchases
for better quality. “Our showroom is comfort-
able and relaxing, we have product specialists
and member service staff on site to provide
shopping assistance.
DirectBuy member Amin N says, “I would
recommend DirectBuy to anyone. It is a one-
stop-shop where you can be guaranteed to
find the best quality at an undervalued price.
The customer service is excellent, they don’t
just fill an order, DirectBuy truly helps bring
the vision of your home alive.”

FURniShingS STORE in OAkVillE.
The vision, as stated by Glyn Austin, co-owner and
buyer, “was to create lifestyle environments that provide
our clients a chance to visualize how products will work
in their own space”. Vignettes are used as a means to
inspire using fresh pieces with a classic spin.
By all accounts Cocoon has acheived this in their new
30,000 square foot building. From the elegant polished
concrete foyer to the industrial floating staircase
that brings you up to the mezzanine level, a walk
through the space provides you with greater selection
of products but maintains the intimacy that they had
in their original location.
Cocoon brings together fashion, trends and comfort
delivering what their customers want. They have
expanded to include a bedding area with linens from
around the world, original artwork, area rugs, lighting,
and more custom furniture options. There is nothing
like this in the west-end of the city. Check it out!

Perhaps a new pergola is in order, a vanishing
pool, outdoor kitchen or fun features such as a
putting green – today’s designs and building
materials can deliver stunning results.
For more than 35 years, The Beaudry Group
has designed and maintained properties
throughout Halton and Hamilton. An iconic
landscaper, the firm not only creates beautiful
outdoor spaces but has provided lawn main-
tenance and snow removal services to
thousands of homeowners. Family-owned and
operated, the firm passionately follows one
simple philosophy: The pursuit of excellence
in design, service and craftsmanship.
Their commitment to this approach is evident
in thousands of properties throughout the
Golden Horseshoe – following a standard of
quality and service that has made them leaders
in the landscape industry.
The ability to deliver on their promises is
by design, not accident, says Gilles Beaudry.
“Our staff has a wide range of expertise and
talents, allowing us to make a commitment to
our clients that we will deliver the technology,
superior service and knowledge that they
require – as well as maintaining the quality
and personal care their projects deserve,”
Gilles says.
The Beaudry Group combines creativ-
ity and visionary design in creating award
winning landscapes. They work closely with
their clients to develop an intimate under-
standing of the home’s architecture and site
conditions and follow a proven process from
concept to completion to turn the owner’s
vision into reality.
“Our mission is to create masterpieces
that are second to none, executing every
design as if it were the finest form of natural
art,” Sherry Beaudry explains. “There is much
more to landscape design than meets the
eye. The location, configuration and decor
of the spaces in which we spend our time
can influence how we feel. Our physical
surrounding can actually influence our moods,
our behaviour, our work performance and our
relationships.”
As a single source for design, construction
and maintenance, The Beaudry Group has
mastered the art of drawing inspiration from
nature to develop unique and interesting
designs and to bring all that creativity together
to deliver and maintain an environment that
will enhance your property’s appearance
and value.
“We are especially careful to tread gently on
Mother Nature, particularly when we develop
gardens in environmentally sensit ive
areas,” Gilles adds. “We work to minimize the
impact on the land, and we utilize and promote
sustainable models and resources.”
So don’t wait until the last minute, call now
and start dreaming.

Few people are aware this exclusive development of
executive homes even exists – it is just that secluded.
Yet, it is merely minutes from town, shopping and
highways.
The residents of Forest Creek Estates will enjoy
incredible views of Rattlesnake Point, Mount Nemo
and spectacular sunrise and sunsets. This rustic setting
is surrounded by forests and conservation lands with
direct access to the Bruce Trail and Bronte Creek –
only minutes from modern urban life.
Here you can escape the bustle of the city and enjoy
a quieter, slower paced lifestyle in this tiny historic
village. Stone pillars along Guelph Line announce to
visitors that Lowville was established in 1853. A busy
commercial centre between Guelph and the shipping
ports along Lake Ontario, Lowville was, at one time,
home to a blacksmith shop, iron foundry, saddlemaker,
wainwright’s shop, tanner, shoemaker, cabinetmaker,
miller, four general merchants, and a post office.
While these businesses are long gone, many of the
buildings and homes of that era still exist, creating a
local charm that makes Lowville a highly desirable
location. There are no fast food franchises, just the
famous Lowville Bistro and 19th century homes, many
of which are designated heritage homes by the City of
Burlington’s Local Architectural Heritage Committee.
The 45-acre property that has become Forest Creek
Estates is off Britannia Road and has been carefully
divided into 10 estate lots ranging in size from two to
more than six acres. Each lot will have an exquisite

environment and range from a minimum of 4,000
square feet to 7,000 square feet, depending on the
lot size.
The builder, Bryan Turkstra, was established in 1987
and has a reputation for honesty, unsurpassed quality
and a passion for creating beautiful homes. The firm
only builds three to four homes a year, guaranteeing
that the necessary time needed to work closely with
the client is established and that the Bryan Turkstra
team delivers precisely what the client wants in their
home.
“My personal philosophy of a close working rela-
tionship and dedication to our clients ensures every
custom home we build is at the highest level of
standards and craftsmanship,” Bryan explains. “I
firmly believe building a custom home is a team effort
with one important goal, to have our clients extremely
happy with the final product and the entire process
to build it.”
Set well apart from neighbours, residents of Forest
Creek will enjoy country estate living with incredible
views from their properties and surrounded by one of
the most unique environments in the world. The Niagara
Escarpment has been designated a UNESCO (the
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization) World Biosphere Reserve, making it an
internationally recognized ecosystem and placing it in
the company of other reserves such as the Galapagos
Islands off South America and the Florida Everglades.

dedication to our clients ensures every custom home we build is at the highest level of standards and craftsmanship.

Here you will find many rare species of flora and
fauna, including stunted eastern white cedars growing
from the cliff face of the escarpment and considered
to be up to 1,000 years old.
Whether you are a golfer, a hiker, a cycling enthusiast
or simply appreciate incredible scenery, the Lowville
area is a treasure trove of natural goodies. Mount Nemo
Conservation Area is your neighbour, and it’s home to
one of the best cliff ecosystems on Ontario’s Niagara
Escarpment. Rich green ferns blanket limestone
boulders scattered among old growth forests that are
alive with jewel like birds. Crevice caves and ancient
cedars can be seen all along the meandering cliff
edge trail.
An interpretive lookout with spectacular views of
the surrounding countryside lets visitors know why this
natural environment park is worth protecting.
Also in view from Forest Creek, and only minutes
away, is the Rattlesnake Point Conservation Area,
which has some of the most inspiring scenic viewing
found anywhere. Five breathtaking lookouts dot the
edge of towering cliffs. With excellent hiking trails, this
natural environment park is perfect for that therapeutic
walk in the woods during any season. You can soak
up this relaxed atmosphere even longer by enjoying
a picnic in the grassy meadows or an overnight stay at
one of the group campsites.
For the adventuresome, Rattlesnake Point has three
designated sites where experienced rock climbers can
scale challenging cliffs under a canopy of rich woods.
Hiking enthusiasts can trek the Bruce Trail through the
Nassagaweya Canyon complete with trail connections
to Crawford Lake.
All this, plus Rattlesnake Golf Club and three or four
other golf courses within a short distance, make Forest
Creek Estates a unique opportunity.

Unlike a bank, Lee Anne works to serve your

tied to any one financial institution, meaning
she can find the rate and terms that suit your
lifestyle best. Her advice is unbiased – the
only person she’s looking out for is you. Did
you know, for example, that each time you
“shop” for a mortgage you have to have a
credit rate done, which lowers your overall
score? But, when working with Lee Anne, you
need only one report that she can utilize over
her vast network of finance companies, credit
unions, banks and private lenders.
An expert in local real estate and financing
options, Lee Anne serves all of Ontario,

HELPING HANDSPhilanthropy // Community Giving
ONE OF THE MAJOR FUNDRAISING
EVENTS OF THE YEAR IS THE ANNUAL DAN
COOPER SWING FOR KIDS’ SAKE GOLF
TOURNAMENT WHICH RAISES TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS EACH YEAR
FOR THE BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS OF
HALTON.
Last May’s fundraiser golf tournament was at
the prestigious Pipers’ Heath Golf Club and we
raised over $40,000 which went to the funding
of critical programs and mentoring for youth at
risk. There are hundreds of youth who need our
help. We live in an affluent community and it is
easy to be unaware of the number of countless
families who are struggling to make ends meet.
It is often the children and teenagers in these
families who are hurt by poverty or a troubled
home life.
For nearly 100 years, Big Brothers Big Sis-
ters have been making a positive difference
in the lives of our nation’s youth by developing
and implementing a wide range of mentoring
programs. They offer one-to-one and group pro-
grams for both in school and outside of school.
These youth are our future politicians,
business people and community leaders. To
abandon them would be unthinkable. It is our
duty to ensure they are given all the advan-
tages we can provide for them to succeed.
Witnessing the transformation of a child into
a confident, concerned and motivated young
person is a remarkable thing. Ushering them into
adulthood, seeing them grow into a successful,
responsible member of their community and
society at large is even more satisfying.
“I am proud to play a major role in helping
our local charities raise money to look after
our community. This years charity golf tour-
nament will be on June 17th at Pipers’ Heath
Golf Club. Make sure to visit www.dancoop-
er.com or www.bbbshalton.ca over the next
couple of months for details.
As big as this event is, its just one of a
number of great charities and community
causes that I and the members of the Dan
Cooper Group support. “
