Imagine a bright summer day. The leaves are green, the sky is clear and the open road stretches before you. The tunes are cranked up loud. At the wheel, the warm wind blows through your hair, the powerful engine roars in response to your slightest touch… It is this great feeling of freedom that Jessica Miedema, a CFB Borden Reservist, will be able to enjoy in her shiny new 2009 Dodge Challenger. She is the grand prize winner of CANEX / The Personal Insurance Company’s 2008 Contest. The contest wrapped up celebrations marking CANEX’s 40^th anniversary and the 20^th anniversary of its partnership with The Personal insurance company.

“CANEX and The Personal Insurance Company have partnered for over 20 years to meet the home and auto insurance needs of the Canadian Forces Community. We were delighted indeed to present Ms. Miedema with her prize, a new 2009 Dodge Challenger,” said Ken Stilwell, Manager Corporate Programs, CANEX.

On January 29, a large crowd gathered in front of Borden’s CANEX Mall when the car was delivered to Mrs. Miedema.

“We would like to extend our thanks to CFB Borden Base Commander Colonel J.J.R.G Hamel for his participation in the event,” added Mr. Stilwell.
