We are so proud and lucky to have so many talented and inspiring women at Centra. Happy #InternationalWomensDay to all the women in the world! The theme for #IWD2019 is balance for better. We celebrate all of the strong and intelligent women, not only within Centra, but around the globe. For Centra, #IWD is an opportuntity for collective action and shared responsibility for driving gender parity and there's no better time to take a step forward towards gender parity within the workplace.

The Centra Family celebrates the year that was, highlighting team members, departments and unsung heroes throughout the year. Skills training included various stations around our manufacturing plant, testing our team on their level of expertise. The day brings out the competitive spirit in all of us, while training and educating our team throughout the day. It's a day of celebration, which serves as inspiration for all of us to continue to serve homeowners and our community. 

Watch all the highlights from our Centra Cares 2018 Golf Tournament Classic. Hosted at Redwoods Golf course. The donations raised at this year’s tournament will be donated to Canuck Place Children's Hospice Dave Lede House in Abbotsford. Over 50 golfers took to the greens to showcase their skills and had a whole lot of fun doing it. From activities and a delicious dinner to plenty of prizes and an entertaining gala, the 2018 classic was one for the history books. Thank you to everyone who participated and thank you to all of our donors and sponsors!

“To be able to have my son out here, you have a feeling of acceptance through a company. You have a real family orientated feel, you feel like you belong to something with Centra."

Centra Installer Tim Sjoquist. Tim and his son Noah volunteered their time to help install windows for the winners of our 2018 Centra Cares Home Renovation Contest. The duo spoke about their experience and the importance of family within a company. While on site, Noah learned a few tips and tricks from his father and displayed flashes of potential.

If you’re thinking about replacing your old windows with new, energy efficient windows, wouldn’t government rebates for window upgrades help? Well we’re happy to announce that Government grants are back and there’s no better time to jump on the opportunity while our government is promoting energy efficient upgrades to your home.

A high performing window provides tremendous value to your home, significantly improves curb appeal, increases the amount of natural light, provides enhanced views, and increases energy efficiency. For this reason, a high quality window is an important investment. The cost of new windows will depend on the type of installation, the style, additional features, and of course, the number of windows.

A house is made of bricks and beams. A home is made of hopes and dreams and our Centra Cares Home Renovation Contest is excited to turn a family’s dream, into a reality. We are happy to announce that the winners of the 2018 Centra Cares Home Renovation Contest is Melissa & Josh Rankin, from Victoria, BC.

Earlier this year, Josh Rankin, 35, was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer and has been undergoing treatments to lengthen the time he has with his family.

With energy prices seemingly always on the rise, homeowners are always searching for opportunities to cut energy consumption. Upgrading your windows is a major step towards improving the energy efficiency of your home. Whether you live in a warm or cooler climate, energy-efficient windows will limit the transfer of heat through the glass, meaning your home stays warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
