Water shortages this summer makes it the opportune time to switch to low flow fixtures. If you are concerned with the amount of water you are using this summer, make the switch to low flow plumbing fixtures.  

The Nanaimo Fire Fighters Local 905 Summer Heat black tie affair was put on to raise funds for the BC Professional Fire Fighters Burn Fund. Attendants were treated to a black tie affair, complete with fine dining, a live auction, fashion show and dance. Many local businesses donated items to be auctioned off to raise funds for this important cause. Torry and Sons was proud to be a part of this night, donating a Sony Flat Screen TV raising $1200.00 alone on the TV. Approximately $30, 000 to $40,000 was raised in total. The event was a huge success. Thanks to the Fire Fighters Local 905 for having us be a part of this wonderful event.
