1st Canadian Oil Heat Cares Project is completed. National Direct Member, Glen O’Keefe, Columbia Fuels, Victoria BC spearheaded the project.
 |
| 500 litres of Bio Heat were donated by Columbia Fuels |
The recipient of the project is Cross Roads Human Services, a day program for adults with mental handicaps. John Fisher has been managing the home since its in caption in 1987. As a burner mechanic for 14 years, Glen got to know Mr. Fisher quite well and witnessed first hand the good work that the center offered its clients.
The old furnace which was installed in 1958 needed to be replaced but Glen followed by other good CFI Burner Mechanics nursed it along knowing that a new heater was not in the budget of Cross Roads. Thanks to Oil Heat Cares and many good people, Cross Roads now has a fine new Armstrong furnace, new chimney liner and Bio-Heat to help stay warm next winter.

| Pictures tell a story - we sometimes take a comfortably heated environment for granted, but the recipient of an Oil Heat Cares project gets to learn first hand that the Oilheating Industry has many very good people willing to help others and sometimes those that do the projects gain as much as the recipient. |
