Bourgeois Motors Ltd. 65 Anniversary

The 65th anniversary marks a special day for the Bourgeois family as the Ford dealership officially changed ownership from Bob Bourgeois to his son, Adam Bourgeois. Founded in 1945, by the late Lionel Bourgeois it was passed on to a 2nd generation. Shortly after Lionel's death in 1962, his oldest son John was brought on board to run the company. Within a few years, John's younger brother Bob would join, and together they continued to ensure the success of Bourgeois Motors. In 2000, after many years service, John retired and the business was taken over by Bob. In 1997 fresh out of university Bob's son Adam came on board to work in the family business. Bob decided it was time to pass on the torch to the 3rd generation and Adam has taken ownership of the company with his Dad still available and often at the dealership to offer his support. Congratulations Adam, Bob & the entire Bourgeois family & team.
