Congratulations to Dave Rayner

Congratulations to Dave Rayner for being recognized recently by the Association of Wood Energy Technicians of Manitoba (AWETM) for his lifetime contributions to the industry.

Dave got his start in the hearth business in 1979. He was well known in the Manitoba market as the owner/operator of “Ye Olde Soot Sweepers”. With time, the business evolved into a retail location called “Ye Olde Hearth Shoppe”.

Dave was one of many volunteers across Canada who helped to establish WETT Inc. and is a founding member of AWETM. Dave was also a long-time instructor for WETT training programs in Manitoba.
