(Sarnia is third on the list in a larger story.)

SARNIA, ONT.: Many parts of southwest Ontario are seeing a revival, thanks in part to soaring house prices in Toronto that have seen folks turn elsewhere for affordable homes and a general influx of creative talent. Sarnia's downtown features a lovely art gallery, the Judith and Norman Alix Gallery, with trendy and cool exhibits you'd expect at much larger galleries.

You’ll also find great craft beer at Refined Fool (a nice play on Sarnia’s oil refineries), good food (try Ciao Chow and Under Wraps café) and cooler-than-you-might expect shopping at places such as Urban Escape.

Mentioned in the story is the Refined Fool Brewing Company.

By coincidence, here is a related story.

From the Sarnia Journal.

The Refined Fool Brewery is calling for a second round.

The Sarnia microbrewery is seeking a zoning amendment from City Hall for possible expansion at 1326 London Rd., a site currently occupied by TJ’s Furniture & Home Decor.

“There is still a lot of work ahead to make it a reality,” said Nathan Colquhoun, one of the brewery’s owners.

“We will make a more in-depth announcement in the near future.”

Refined Fool has operated at 137 Davis St. since opening in May of 2014. The additional space would serve as a production facility and have a taproom as well, Colquhoun said.

Shirley has over 30 years of experience in such diverse businesses as financial planning, manufacturing, and supply. Her education includes a B.A., B.ED., M.ED., C.F.P., N.L.P. and the home inspector’s course as well as having her AZ license for five years. Her family home has given her and her husband the opportunity to do extensive renovation and repairs thereby increasing the value about $100,000 in ten years. She has been able to see firsthand how much a sensible and cost efficient renovations can add to the value of a home. Shirley has chosen joint ventures because she thinks that her experiences an help others achieve their goals and maximize the profits for both parties. In 1979, Shirley became involved in a small group of women who started a metal manufacturing company making small deep drawn metal parts for the automobile companies in Windsor. They took the company from start up to over $400,000 in sales in five years. That was a lot of parts since the parts sold for only five cents per each. In 1985 they sold the company to one of their customers. Whether it was selling mutual funds, teaching foster parents how to recruit foster parents, or working for Tony Robbins, Shirley has put more than 100 percent into every endeavour she was involved in.
