In this episode, Karl discusses how he ventured from Canada to New Zealand at the age of twenty and while living there he would begin a journey that would eventually lead him to creating his own business designing and manufacturing automatic case packer machines from his home on Pender Island and shipping them all around the world. Karl also details his passion for restoring and driving Hudson automobiles, his involvement in the Medicine Beach conservancy and he speaks at length about the details involved in building our Community Hall, the design of which was based on the barn on his property, which previous to the hall being built held local community events.

I’ve always admired Karl for his compassion and commitment to play a strong Community role in developing Pender Community as a partner with others. Great memories of the Fund raisers in Karl’s Barn for tge Community Hall. Entertainers such as Valdy were so enjoyed by everyone attending.
