Mike Fair has been in the automotive business the majority of his life. Born and raised in Oshawa, home of General Motors Canada, Mike has been associated with GM since he was 19 years old; first working in the engineering department for 12 years and then in the sales department for 7 years before joining his first GM dealership in Oshawa in 1980. Seven years later, Mike moved his family to Smiths Falls after being presented with an opportunity to purchase the former Smiths Falls Chevrolet Oldsmobile Geo Cadillac dealership.
Mike has always had the philosophy that if you make a living from the people in your community, you should give back to that community. Since moving to Smiths Falls, Mike has stayed true to his word. As a former President of the Smiths Falls Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Smiths Falls Hospital Foundation’s Capital Campaign Committee, a member of the Rideau Canal Museum Board of Directors and a proud supporter of local minor hockey and figure skating, Mike is very proud to call Smiths Falls home. |
