History

Established in 1990.

My father, Randy Mitchell, originally started this business in 1990, but decided to sell everything off and close his doors in 1994. It just didn’t make enough money to make it worth his time. He was already running another successful business anyway.

I always helped him in this canoe business and enjoyed it. When I graduated in 1994, one of us had the idea for me to start up «Mitchell’s» again. My parents helped me get going financial, taught and supported me along the way.

Business Owner

The outdoors rejuvinates me. So thankful my family moved us to Powell River, from Richmond, when I was young. Also love it that I’m raising my boys here. This area is absolutely magnificent in its beauty and what it has to offer. Lucky girl to be a Canadian, on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia!
