Have you called Bear Creek lately? If so, this lovely lady is who you probably spoke to!

Logan likes what most men like, beer. His favourite summer hobby is heading to his family's lake lot 'smashing beers and slaying fish.' Spoken like a true Grande Prairian!
Cloë Troup
Title: Shop Hand (can we say Shop Bitch?)
Level of Certification: -
Years in Mechanics: -
Don't be deceived by Cloe's credentials. What she may lack in tangible mechanical experience and education she makes for up in work ethic (which is driven by her love for travel, McDonald's / Starbucks / Tim Hortons, car bills, and an empty wallet).
"Part-Time part of the Time"
Alexis Troup
Title: Marketing Manager
Level of Certification: Bachelor of Commerce
Experience: 6 years
Alexis is one of our only virtual team members (despite COVID..). She focuses on all things Marketing for the shop. and loves walking her dog, Phoebe, playing sports, catching up with friends, and cooking meals that have the 'colours of the rainbow.'
"Pooch"
Poochie, Shop Cat
Title: Mice Menace
Level of Certification: Meow Master
Experience: Old As Dirt
Poochie is one of the most under-valued team members at Bear Creek. This may be because she loves to spend all day lounging around, sleeping, eating, and causing havoc for the mechanics. However, her hobbies are useful for the team, catching mice, tossing them up in the air.
