City Poised to Become Tech Centre.

A grassroots group of self-described ‘nerds’ says the city is primed to build and sustain a tech industry.

Sarnia Tech Community formed this summer with the purpose of transforming the city into a hub of technology and innovation, said member Jon Ferwerda.

It came together this summer, meets twice monthly and held its kickoff event on the rooftop of the Kenwick Place building, a symbolic setting overlooking the city.

“The goal is to bring everyone in the community together … and move forward as one, in one direction that benefits the city, the businesses, the students, the youth, and the community at large,” said member Jasmyn Newton.

“We all live in Sarnia-Lambton and we believe this is an incredible place to be. We have a highly motivated community.”

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.
