A Taste Of Italy In OttawaThank you to all the Readers of Ottawa This Week East for voting me and my team as the platinum win-ner for chiropractic practice. I became a chiropractor because of my strong sense of purpose to help people achieve a higher level of health and well-being. As the co-author of the book Wellness On The Go and creator of the on-line coaching program Roadmap to Wellness, I also have made it my mission to remain innovative and cutting edge with the products and services my practice would offer the community.

A Wellness Chiropractor will help you identify and cor-rect subluxations which can be caused by stress in any of the 3 dimensions of your life: physical, biochemical and psychological. A subluxation involves not only a misalignment and a loss of movement in the spine but it also causes nervous system interference, inhib-iting the vital communication between your brain and

the rest of your body. We live life through our nerv-ous system so for optimal health your nervous system needs to be working at its best. Often times if we wait to have signs and symptoms, detrimental health consequences are already in progress. Your Wellness Chiropractor will help you maintain a nervous system free of interference, which will let you experience bet-ter health, longevity, and quality of life.

THANKS FOR VOTING MR. LUBE“DIAMOND AWARD FOR BEST OIL & LUBE”

IF ONLY THERE WAS AN AWARD FOR “BEST CUSTOMER”

Expiry: July 31, 2011 Code: 5613

Mr. Lube’s commitment to providingcustomers with fast, convenient, warranty approved service for their vehicles has re-sulted in a Diamond Award for Best Oil & Lube by the readers of Ottawa This Week East Edition. “We believe that providingcustomers with the best service possible is critical to our long-term success,” says Francois Trudel. Trudel and his wife, Kel-lie, own the Kanata, Barrhaven and Or-leans Mr. Lube locations and have been franchisees since 1992. “Customers re-quest and receive the service they want from the comfort of their own vehicle and at a time that is convenient to them, seven days a week. With no appoint-ment necessary, convenient and effi cient service sets us apart from our competi-tors.” The company has built itself on this philosophy from the very beginning. Back in 1976, Edmonton-based founder Clifford Giese realized there had to be a quicker, more convenient way to get oil changes and other vehicle maintenance services, rather than dealing with the time and hassle of making an appointment. In so doing, Giese not

only launched a great Canadian com-pany, but also invented an entirely new service category – the quick lube. Thirty-four years later, with over 34 million customers served; Mr. Lube has evolved from Canada’s largest quick lube brand to a complete preventive maintenance service provider. Today, with over 100 locations coast-to-coast, including seven in the Capital Region, and more opening every year, they have more customers and more locations than any other auto-motive maintenance services provider in the country, making it easy to stop by for your next service. Customers visiting any Mr. Lube location can be assured they will receive the same great service with each and every visit. Open seven days a week and until 8pm on weeknights, Mr. Lube is the preferred choice of Ottawa This Week East Edition readers.
