A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
As the President and CEO of Ledingham McAllister, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. As the owner of a locally-owned business that has been in successful operation for over one hundred years throughout the province of British Columbia, I am proud that our company has continued to stand the test of time over the course of many cycles of market fluctuation. Ledingham McAllister is now well into its second century and continues to reach for new heights as one of British Columbia's most respected builders.
Our mission statement is not only to meet but exceed customer expectations. When people look to Ledingham McAllister they see a company that is deeply rooted in this province's history and our reputation is paramount to us. Our communities are built to extremely high standards and I take great pride that our purchasers can be assured their home is being built by a company that helped form British Columbia into the province it is today.
