Sure, Perkins started with dozens of pancake and waffle options, but soon enough we grew to offer American staples like breakfast all day, hearty steak plates, juicy burgers, and a wide selection of handcrafted handhelds, soups, and salads. The most iconic piece of Perkins Bakery is, you guessed it, our pie.
Our in-store bakery offers a wide selection of fruit pies, cream pies, dreamy pies, along with scrumptious cookies, and our signature Mammoth Muffins®. Our goal has always been to leave guests feeling satisfied, which means we’re always updating our menu with fresh, flavorful, and innovative items that take their place right next to our classic, beloved menu items. Some of our most iconic dishes have been on the menu for more than 30 years. Pretty sweet, huh?

Anthony Dodd

Partner

Doane Grant Thornton Ajax

As a Partner in Doane Grant Thornton LLP’s Ajax office, I am passionate about helping owner-managed businesses succeed through reliable financial insight and proactive advice. I take pride in providing high-quality financial and tax reporting and ensuring my clients receive timely, accurate, and practical guidance to support their goals.

My work focuses on three core areas: business advice, assurance services, and tax compliance. I believe that great accounting is about more than just numbers—it’s about providing clarity and confidence so clients can make informed decisions that move their business forward.

Before merging with Doane Grant Thornton in November 2022, I spent several years running my own practice. That experience gave me a firsthand understanding of what it means to be a business owner—the challenges, opportunities, and constant balancing act between growth and stability. I draw on that perspective every day when advising clients.

I enjoy working closely with our local team to deliver exceptional client service, while also leveraging the expertise of specialists across the firm in areas such as tax, risk advisory, valuations, and mergers and acquisitions. This collaborative approach allows us to offer well-rounded, customized solutions that meet each client’s unique needs.

While I work with clients across a range of industries, I have a particular interest in manufacturing and distribution companies. I find these sectors especially rewarding because of their focus on efficiency, innovation, and strategic planning.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, cooking, golfing and cheering on my favorite teams—the Toronto Blue Jays, the Toronto Maple Leafs, and Aston Villa.

Nestled on the shores of Lake Ontario and within one of the fastest growing regions in Ontario, Ajax is a burgeoning community of diverse and passionate entrepreneurs and professionals. After years of dedicated service to clients within Durham Region, the Ajax firm of Hurren, Sinclair, MacIntrye LLP joined forces with Grant Thornton in November 2021 to enhance their capacity to help businesses grow and reach their full potential. Our team of experienced accountants and business advisors provide audit, tax and advisory services to a variety of clients including private companies and not-for-profit organizations. Many of our clients are in the construction, manufacturing, professional and medical services, and social housing industries within Durham Region. We’re committed to supporting you and your business at every stage of growth.

Erika Andrusiak

Owner

Durham First Aid Inc.

I started my first aid instructional journey like many as a Lifeguard and Swim Instructor when I was 16 years old. I loved working in the Parks and Recreational Department of the City of Toronto. From there I attended the University of Waterloo and earned by degree in Urban Planning. It was a fabulous and interesting field of study. After graduating I worked as a Planner for 8 years. During that time I also volunteered with Girl Guides of Canada organizing large scale events, and taught First Aid and CPR/AED courses for the Durham Branch of the Canadian Red Cross. In my volunteer and part time work experiences I realized that I was not in the right career and when a permanent part time job of First Aid Coordinator at the Durham Branch became available in 2012 I jumped on it. In just 4 years in that position I assisted with growing from training only 600 people a year to 2700 a year! The Red Cross then restructured and come 2018 would no longer be offering courses directly to the public, but would operate solly under a training partner model. Which means that continuing to do what I loved doing, I had to go out on my own. And here I am, owner of Durham First Aid Inc. a training partner of the Canadian Red Cross, with a training centre in Oshawa, 15 amazing instructors who work with us, I couldn't ask for anything more. I love what I do, and take pride in our courses, instructor development and experience that people obtain when they attend courses at Durham First Aid Inc.

After having two children and seeing a co-worker get injured at work I decided it was important for me to know how to help people in their time of need. By training in First Aid & CPR, I now have the peace of mind to know if one of my children are choking or fall and hurt themselves I can step up and take care of them. I started this company so that I could share this feeling of peace of mind with others.

Gabby's - Mississauga

Gabby’s was founded in 1988 by a local Toronto family, opening our first location in March 1989. From day one, we aimed to create a cozy, welcoming environment where guests could enjoy freshly cooked meals, great draft beer, and an extensive selection of spirits—all while watching major sporting events. More than 35 years later, Gabby’s has grown into a beloved casual dining spot, serving over 45,000 people a week across our 14 locations in Toronto.

Today, Gabby’s is proud to be known as a mainstream casual dining and family-friendly restaurant with an integrated sports bar, catering to the community and local businesses. We provide friendly, attentive service in a relaxed setting where everything is prepared fresh on-site, making us a go-to spot for everything from family dinners to date nights, or catching the game with friends.

Our menu has evolved to meet the needs of today’s customers. From a beer and wings joint to offering over 50+ dishes, including hand-dipped, authentic beer-battered fish & chips, premium brisket burgers, made-to-order chicken tenders, and fresh-cut Ontario-sourced fries. We also offer over 20 vegetarian options, entree salads, and of course, our famous wings. Plus, we make our salsa from scratch, right in-house!

For those looking for convenience, we offer delivery directly from our website or through third-party apps (although they do take a cut from us!).

Our decor has also transformed over the years—from a classic roadhouse feel to a modern, cozy casual dining atmosphere. Expect comfortable seating, rich wood finishes, exposed brick, and large HD flat-screen TVs to catch all your favorite sports. Whether you're joining us for wing night, a relaxed dinner, or to watch the game, Gabby’s is the perfect place for every occasion.

We are still proudly owned and operated by the same founding family.

Kris Sivaguru

President & CEO

Shinol Inc.

Immigrating to Canada in the nineteen nineties, Kris Sivaguru, a Mechanical Engineering student from Sri Lanka faced numerous challenges in establishing life in Canada. Just like many others in the community, Kris started working at restaurants and factories in Montreal.

After moving to Toronto in 1994, he started working as a janitorial worker at nights while studying Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing at Centennial College. When you are passionate about something you do, you then do an excellent job and others notice your work. One of Kris’s customers noticed his hardworking efforts and offered Kris to clean his facility. This was the stepping stone for the cleaning business Kris started.

Determined to make his dream come true, Kris founded Shinol Inc. and became a successful entrepreneur. He established the business in a short period of time and has employed over 200 workers from all over the Greater Toronto Area.

As the business grew, Shinol Inc. was formed into 3 groups of companies.

Shinol Cleaning has become a trusted name in the Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional cleaning services since 1995.

Shinol Maintenance was established to be a dependable and qualified maintenance company to handle most facility renovation services.

Shinol Workforce was established as a result of extensive customer’s demand for staffing solutions.

Kris has since risen to be a very well-respected business leader in the community. He has been constantly working towards the growth and development of the company in order to achieve recognition, and be one of the industrial leaders in the field of janitorial services. He brings over 18 years experience in managing daily housekeeping/cleaning, grounds-keeping, waste management, maintenance and health & safety.

Since 1995, the company has been providing exceptional customer service to our clients.

Shinol Inc achieves this goal by paying attention to our client’s expectations and takes a thorough and positive approach in defining their needs. Our cost effectiveness is achieved by latest high efficiency equipment. We are responsible for maintaining upwards of 5 million square feet on a daily basis, servicing all types of facilities throughout the South Central Ontario and the surrounding areas.

Kajan Kanagavinayagam

Singer and Songwriter

Kaja Band

Kajan Kana is an up and coming musician, who is going to rock the music world. He was born in Sri Lanka. As result of the 25-year old civil war, which affected almost everyone in the island, Kajan was forced to leave the beautiful tropical island. He feels fortunate to have immigrated to Canada and has been living in Canada since 2001. Not being able to fully complete his studies due to the civil war, Kajan didn’t give up on his education, he continued his schooling in Toronto. Kajan attended Trebas Institute from 2003 to 2007 and completed his degree in Audio Engineering.

Having a passion for music from his young age, Kajan started learning classical music at the age of 10. As time passed, his focus in music turned toward Rock Music. From a young age, Kajan has been fascinated by energy the Rock can bring. Rock music is very new to the Tamil culture and no one has ever attempted to do what Kajan has done. He put so many South Asians around the world in shock when his first album, “Vazhiyillaiya” on December 14, 2017 in Toronto Canada. The word “Vazhiyillaiya” meaning, is there no way?

Infusing his passion for music and humanity, Kajan tells a story about the Immigrant-Canadian's lifestyle in his first single. In this song, Kajan is about what each every one of us are going through on a regular basis. If translated, every immigrant would relate this to his/her personal life. Those who came to Canada in the early 80’s would say, this song would have been their daily life style.

Kajan’s hard work has paid off when the first single was launched. A video version of Vazhiyillaiya song will be released very soon. Kajan’s team is working on an album with 5 plus songs which will be completed in the next few months.

Jay Manifest Hayles

Firehouse-Tested Leader | Elite Real-Estate Rainmaker | Entrepreneurial Catalyst | Civic Power Broker 2 Councillor

GiG Life inc

If you’re buying, building, investing, voting, or just trying to make sense of the city, you need to talk to Jay Hayles.

I’m the fire-tested closer who puts out flames by day and lights up deals by night.

The guy who’s walked through real fires, negotiated million-dollar contracts, and still makes time to check in on the block.

Real estate? - I don’t just sell homes, I unlock futures.

Politics? - I don’t just talk change, I move it.

Firefighting? - I don’t flinch when it’s life or death, I lead.

Business? - I don’t wait for opportunity I build it from the ground up.

They call me the Neighborhood Connector, but you can call me when you’re ready to win!

Because I turn “maybe one day” into right now.

From backyards to boardrooms, I’m that rare mix of trusted, tested, and tapped in.

One foot in the firehouse, one in City Hall, and both hands building generational wealth.

I’ve got hustle in my DNA, heart in my mission, and heat in every move I make.

I’ve helped families find their forever. I’ve helped leaders find their footing. I’ve helped strangers feel seen.

So whether you’re talking land, legacy, leadership, or just leveling up...

Remember the name.

Jay Manifest Hayles.

Your dealmaker, difference-maker, and future shaper.

Hi, I’m Jay

the guy who runs toward flames, opens doors to new homes, and rolls up his sleeves to make our city better.

Firefighting: I keep families safe when seconds matter.

Real Estate: I guide neighbours into smart moves that grow their wealth.

Civic Life: I listen first, then help shape policies that lift everyone.


If you care about safety, prosperity, and community, we’ll have a lot to talk about.

CEO

Claireport Place Banquet & Convention Centre

Owners Jey and Sasi have always had an ambition for providing amazing food and service to match. They started their journey in 1990 by owning and operating a Golden Griddle Family Restaurant franchise. With Golden Griddle being a predominant breakfast location, these two best friends maximized its potential by renting out the restaurant venue after business hours for small family parties. From here, they discovered a passion they both shared for catering and events – and the journey towards becoming eminent event specialists began. Following their sale of Golden Griddle, they took a very confident leap into the banquet services business where they purchased Eastown Restaurant and Banquet Halls in 1996. They successfully built the Eastown brand within the GTA and provided an immeasurable number of clients with memorable tailored events.

In 2000, Jey and Sasi sold Eastown with plans for early retirement. They didn’t even last 6 months of retirement! They realized they were missing the one thing that made them wake up every morning with a mission: to provide families with exceptional banquets and event services. The banquets and events business was not their job – it was their passion. They immediately kicked the early retirement plan and purchased Claireport Place Banquet and Convention Centre. Now, Jey and Sasi continue to do what they love to do – living their dream to provide people with their own unforgettable dream events.

Whenever you’re planning an event, you have this perfectly curated vision in your mind that creates a euphoric sensation throughout your body every time you think about it. The feelings are so real that It’s almost as if you've already lived this special celebration. At Claireport Place, we are ambitious to work with your vision and recreate your dream event so that you could actually LIVE IT and experience this joyous feeling in reality. Our dedicated team, from management and service staff to culinary artists, are all in the business of turning your blissful dreams into beautiful memories; memories that you and your guests will talk about for years to come.
