Congratulations to Mulmur Resident, Ken Jewitt!
Recently Mr. Jewett was awarded the Susan Wiecek Forestry Education Award. The Award recognizes individuals or organizations for outstanding contributions to forestry education in Ontario.
Ken started in business with the Abitibi Paper Company in 1950. In 1970, he left Abitibi and spent the next year arranging financing and equipping a plant for a new business called Marsan Foods. Marsan produces frozen meals for supermarket chains, restaurant chains and the health care field and has since become hugely successful.
Ken’s passion was the maple tree and in 2000, he established Maple Leaves Forever. The mandate of Maple Leaves Forever is to promote and support the planting of native maples, and to date it has supported the planting of over 130,000 native maples all through Ken’s personal financial contributions of close to $750,000.
