A Shovel, a Wheelbarrow, and a Promise
John (Giovanni) Manarin arrived in Toronto as a new immigrant and started Donald Contracting with little more than a pick-up truck, a shovel, and a wheelbarrow. In those early years, business was conducted on a handshake. John built the company's reputation on fairness and honesty, earning fierce loyalty from his workforce, a foundation the modern company still stands on today.
