Hodgson Contracting
Description
Back in 1953, John Hodgson took over a portion of an established construction and cottage services business on Georgian Bay. Established in the early 1900's by his father-in-law in the Pointe au Baril area, John's business, then called John Hodgson Contractor, continued in his father-in-laws tradition, adding propane delivery as an additional service to the islanders.
"I remember working along side my father and grandfather," says son, Stan, currently at the reigns of the family business. "I was only a young teenager and I didn't do a lot back then. I used to go up on the roof, and cleaned up around the two of them. I must have enjoyed it 'cause here I am.
John and Eva's four sons worked summers and weekends while in school, but all held separate goals, some more toward administration, and choosing to raise families in the city.
