Swapneet Ranike – Owner/Operator, Boston Pizza in Uxbridge and North Whitby: |
I am a new immigrant, well not that new we came into this beautiful part of the world in 2017. With so many dreams in my eyes and a desire to accomplish myself. I come with
over 13 years hospitality industry experience. Great hospitality is in my blood because of the country I belong to, India.
Starting my journey with an airline then Luxury hotels and finally living my dream of being a Mompreneur. My 2 young girls are my source of motivation. When everyone told me with 2 young kids, I can't achieve my dreams, I told them to wait and watch how it's done.
Apart from running my restaurants, I am also a mentor for new immigrants and I work closely with the community for various fundraisers.
I believe there is nothing more beautiful than an independent, powerful and loving woman.

When the lockdowns began in March due to the pandemic, Annie pivoted her children learning center online by conducting classes in a virtual classroom, plus using a proprietary online learning system.

My name is Jenny Hall and I am an ENJOpreneur. I teach Canadians how to clean easily, safely, and effectively without using toxic chemicals. ENJO fibers and water clean pore-deep by lifting, trapping and removing dirt from your surfaces. In fact, ENJO fibers and water are proven to clean 6X more hygienically than traditional cleaning methods.
Before becoming an ENJOpreneur, I enjoyed a wonderful career in musical theatre, performing at a variety of theatres across Canada. You might have even seen me in an episode or two or Murdoch Mysteries.
I am looking forward to connecting with the members of the Uxbridge Networking Group and thank you so much for a wonderful welcome!
