    Providing beds to children in our communities is one way we live our purpose to Make Life Better, so this is the perfect story to close out 2024! Earlier this year, Kira received a bed through Dufresne's Dream Big program. This allowed her to sleep better, improving her physical and mental health. What's more, her family also chose to pay it forward! They volunteered at Dream Big events to help provide beds and Make Life Better for other children like Kira! That's what we call a win-win situation. If you buy a mattress at any of our Dufresne or Ashley locations, you're also supporting a win-win situation! You will reap the numerous health benefits of better sleep, and a portion of your purchase will be used to provide beds for children in our communities through Dufresne's Dream Big program or Ashley's Hope to Dream program. So, on behalf of Kira and the hundreds of children who received beds this year through Hope to Dream and Dream Big, thank you. We can't wait to continue Making Life Better in 2025. Have a safe, fun, and happy New Year's Eve. #MakeLifeBetter #Dufresne #AshleyCanada #HopetoDream #DreamBig #InOurCommunity

    This week, I had the honour of giving 8-year-old Kira a bedroom makeover through Dream Big! I met Kira two years ago when she first arrived in Canada on the first charter plane from Ukraine. Since then, her family has volunteered at many Dream Big events, so it only made sense to have her become the face of Dream Big! Shout out to Josh Diaz for creating a complete movie set in a bedroom and for bringing our vision to life! Learn more about Dream Big: www.dufresne.ca/dreambig

    CEO at TDG - Driving purpose and growth to Make Life Better for our teams, guests, and communities

    Happy Holidays! I love this season – the lights, decorations, music and festivities bring an incredible energy that I often wish could last all year. Yet my favourite part is how the holidays bring people together. Whether it’s family dinners, work parties, or other traditions, people really are the reason for the season! Personally, I’m looking forward to celebrating with my family – Stephanie and I will be in our hometown with our 3 daughters, my brother and sister-in-laws, and all our nieces and nephew, and my parents. Professionally, I want to shout out to #TeamTDG. This is our busiest time of year at The Dufresne Group. I am so proud of our teams! They have worked incredibly hard to prepare for Black Friday and Boxing Day. Without question, we are ready to Make Life Better for our teams, guests, and community. Yet we don’t win alone – our team includes all our vendors, partners, spouses, friends, and family. And to each of you, I am incredibly grateful! Whatever your holiday season looks like, I hope it’s filled with fun, laughter and love.  #MakeLifeBetter #PeopleFocused #PurposeDriven #AshleyCanada #Dufresne

    Last week, a few members of our # TeamTDG home office crew decided to help Santa out. We know the challenges of delivery - and while this guy is the best! Ian Ahvenniemi would agree that he's an absolute Logistics wiz, always completes a perfect delivery, has never faced a no-home, and has an outstanding on-time rate. We also know a thing or two about spreading cheer and Making Life Better. So we left the children to Santa and packed our sleigh (which just so happens to be a delivery truck) with gifts for seniors. Led by Pat Fitzgerald, members of our team volunteer to purchase, wrap and package personalized gifts that will be distributed through Santa for a Senior. And it's not the first time. Pat has been organizing this volunteer initiative for more than 15 years! After all, you're never too old to wake up on December 25 excited about something to unwrap! Thank you to Pat and everyone who helped out this year. The seniors - and Santa - will be grateful! #MakeLifeBetter #InOurCommunity #SantaForASenior #Fun #Caring #Dufresne #AshleyCanada

    HELPFUL TIPS: WHEN TO REPLACE YOUR REFRIGERATOR Last week, we talked about how you know you may need a new mattress. You can check out the post here: https://lnkd.in/g9Z9gK8E. It’s often easier to know when you need a new fridge, stove, or washing machine, yet you may want to consider replacing your appliance while you can shop around and consider options to suit your lifestyle and budget. Here are 6 signs to know when it may be time to replace or repair your refrigerator: #1. YOUR CURRENT FRIDGE IS MORE THAN 10 TO 15 YEARS OLD. #2. YOUR FRIDGE NEEDS TO REPAIRED, CONSTANTLY. #3. YOUR FRIDGE IS SUDDENLY EXTRA LOUD OR VERY QUIET. #4. THE BACK OF YOUR FRIDGE IS HOT TO TOUCH. #5. YOU HAVE FROST BUILD UP INSIDE, OR CONDENSATION OUTSIDE, YOUR FRIDGE OR FREEZER. #6. YOUR FOOD IS SPOILING MORE QUICKLY OR HAS SPOILED.
