Happy CBDC Day from CBDC Emerald Springdale office! 🇨🇦🎉

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by to celebrate with us today. It was wonderful to spend time with clients, community partners, friends, and supporters who continue to make our region such a great place to live and do business.

One of the highlights of the day was welcoming some very special young visitors — possibly a few future entrepreneurs in the making! While we can’t share their photos, they were absolutely adorable and were pretty excited to receive their little CBDC piggy banks. Safe to say the savings goals are starting early. 😊

We’re grateful for the support, the conversations, the laughs, and of course… the cake!

G&P Courier – Kevin Stuckless

Kevin Stuckless is the owner of G&P Courier which provides bus services to and from Baie Verte, Springdale, and Grand Falls with deliveries at predetermined stops at businesses they partner with, ensuring reliable and predictable service for customers while supporting other local industries.

Kevin was looking for a change when he heard the previous owner of G&P Courier was retiring. He knew the business was a critical service in a rural area and he and his wife decided to invest in their own operation with support from CBDC Emerald. In late July of 2019, the couple officially purchased the business and began making deliveries that August.

Learn more about Kevin’s story here:

Kevin Stuckless est le propriétaire de G&P Courier, qui fournit un service par autobus en provenance et à destination de Baie Verte, Springdale et Grand Falls, les livraisons étant effectuées à des arrêts prédéterminés dans des commerces partenaires. Ainsi, le service est toujours fiable et prévisible pour la clientèle, et il soutient d’autres entreprises locales.

Kevin Stuckless était à la recherche d’un changement lorsqu’il a appris que l’ancien propriétaire de G&P Courier prenait sa retraite. Il savait que cette entreprise était essentielle dans cette région rurale, donc lui et son épouse ont décidé d’investir pour en faire leur propre affaire, avec le soutien de la CBDC Emerald. Le couple a officiellement acheté l’entreprise à la fin de juillet 2019 et a commencé à faire des livraisons au mois d’août de la même année.
