Conval-Aid started with a hockey buddy, a handshake, and a big idea.
In 1976, Don Ed was approached by a friend about partnering in a business to sell and rent wheelchairs in Ottawa.
At the time, the home health-aid industry was barely off the ground. Don had a full-time job, and his wife, Judi, was a full-time mother of two.
They said yes anyway.
The first Conval-Aid office was on Boyd Avenue: one desk, one filing cabinet, one phone. From those humble beginnings, they built something that would go on to serve Ottawa families for the next 50 years (and counting).
Every company has an origin story. Ours started with people who believed they could make a difference and were willing to figure it out as they went.
This year, we're celebrating 50 years of helping Ottawa families. Stay tuned as we share more of our story.
