Want to save the world? So do we. That’s why we started Moment Energy, a cleantech company that’s helping to build a sustainable economy through battery energy storage systems made from repurposed electric vehicle batteries. We keep people’s lights on, and their batteries from ending up in landfills. As an impact-driven organization, Moments goal is to provide a reliable and environmentally friendly battery energy storage system for our customers. We’re the only Canadian company working with Nissan North America, Mercedes Benz Energy and other world renowned automakers to repurpose their EV batteries. Were a proud Canadian-owned and operated company founded by four tech entrepreneurs, with a mission to provide worldwide access to clean, reliable and affordable power. Our solution helps off-grid customers reduce diesel consumption and transition to renewables, and also provides peak shaving and backup power for commercial and industrial customers. Moment Energy was recognized as the Grand Prize Winner of the 2021 National Impact Investor Challenge held by Spring Activator in June 2021. On October 4th, 2021, we placed third in the 2021 New Ventures BC Competition, British Columbia’s largest annual tech startup competition. We’re a fast-paced, VC-funded company backed by major Canadian and US Venture Capital and Climate Funds including Version One Ventures and Fika Ventures.

As of May 2021, Renaissance Mergers & Acquisitions joins the audit, tax and advisory network, Baker Tilly Canada, as an independent member firm providing transaction services in Vancouver and coast to coast. Our name changes to reflect the Baker Tilly brand. The service excellence and client care our team offers will not change at all. Neither will fees. Though we will be adopting a new brand and becoming part of a countrywide network, we’ll maintain complete autonomy of both our day-to-day and long-term management. We will remain, legally and in practice, an independently owned and operated firm. On the plus side, as part of BT – and by extension, its global network, BT International – we will be able to augment the transaction services we offer clients, as well as our reach and connections, both nationally and around the world. Again, to clarify, the buy and sell-side transaction services our clients trust and the staff they engage with will not change. We will simply be able to provide our transaction expertise nationwide and offer additional services now to those interested (such as accounting or tax support etc.) via our network connections. All the members of BT are independent, but together as an association they are able to accomplish more. Access to nationwide/global resources, audit, tax and accounting services, as well as other specialty offerings, only enhances value for all our clients. We were drawn to BT because they embrace the same entrepreneurial spirit and deep commitment to local markets that we do, while embracing collaboration and shared resources. Together we will invest in the power of great relationships, great conversations and great futures. Now, for tomorrow. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about this exciting new chapter in our firm’s lifecycle. Best Regards, Mike McIsaac Managing Partner

Find what moves you. At Sport Chek, we believe that sport is whatever moves you. It shouldn’t be bound by rulebooks or live within set lines and lanes. It’s not limited to what happens on the court, rink, field or track. Because it’s not just about what you’re doing, but how you’re feeling. Alive. Exhilarated. Renewed. Sport is more than its traditional definitions. It has the power to shape your style, your relationships, your mind, and ultimately, it’s part of who you are. Sport Chek is Canada’s health and wellness destination for looking well, feeling well, and performing well. Our role is to help motivate Canadians to get moving and help them achieve their wellness goals. As Canada’s leading health and wellness destination, Sport Chek understands better than anyone the role sports and activity play in the lives of Canadians. We want to inspire our customers to live an active lifestyle by making sports and activity more fun, approachable and inclusive. With over 190 stores across Canada, Sport Chek is the destination for FGL Sports, providing customers with both brand name and private brand products.
