DEER FRIENDS

A pair of CARSTAR locations in Red Deer, Alta. actively worked to deliver happy holidays to their neighbours, as local media reported in December that CARSTAR Red Deer and Red Deer South have raised over $3,000 for several community charities. With $3,000 earmarked for the Red Deer Christmas Bureau and the Red Deer Food Bank, the teams of both shops also loaded ten hampers with supplies for families who were struggling financially during the holiday season.

Together, the two Red Deer CARSTARs have raised more than $37,000 for local charities since 2003, and Clayton Hermary, manager of CARSTAR Red Deer, noted that community engagement has become a part of the company culture.

Albertan autobody extraordinaire, Cecile Bukmeier says she plans to strengthen student-industry connections while promoting diversity in trades as she heads into her three-year term as the new chair of NAIT’s autobody program.

“I’ve worked at NAIT for six years now, starting out as an autobody instructor in 2016,” Bukmeier told Collision Repair over the phone. As her proficiency in teaching modern body repair practices to students developed over the years, so did Bukmeier’s passion for engaging those who will become future industry leaders.

Now, having earned the top spot in NAIT’s autobody department, Bukmeier has her focus on building bridges between students and the repair industry beyond NAIT’s doors, promoting trades to younger students, as well as underrepresented populations in the trades such as women.
