GONYEA

Originally from Toronto, Paul Gonyea began his eaves trough business in 1985, and maintained his business while employed by the Toronto Transit Commission as a maintenance supervisor with an electronics degree. On his first visit to the Minden area in 1994, Paul and his wife Janette felt so welcomed by the people of the Haliburton Highlands that they wanted to become a part of the community as soon as possible. In fact, the very next weekend, they purchased a cottage on Brady Lake, where they spent the next several years renovating and winterizing it, with the idea of moving their family north once the cottage was complete.
