The Calgary Residential Rental Association hosted Calgary’s popular mayor Naheed Nenshi at the Blackfoot Inn on Wednesday June 13, 2013.

Men In Kilts Calgary and Edmonton Franchise owner Chris Carrier and some key members of his team were in attendance.

The theme of the seminar was “Calgary today and tomorrow” and the mayor attended as a guest speaker discussing his vision for the city to have communities that are sustainable, likeable, and livable. The rental association provided him a platform to share his ideas with people who can help turn these visions into reality.

Carrier commented on the experience saying, “It is evident that Mr. Nenshi enjoys his work! Leaders like him don’t come along every day, and it was a true privilege to see him up close and personal. The things I admire most about him are his leadership qualities. He casts a clear vision for the City of Calgary, making sure voices are heard and plans are communicated.”

After the event, Carrier and his clan had fun meeting Mr. Nenshi for pictures. Carrier concludes, “We’ll get him in a kilt one day soon!”

The Mastermind Behind Men In Kilts Reminisces About Fatherhood

Being a parent is a job in and of itself. Never mind being a parent and the Founder of a successful window and exterior cleaning franchise!

Men In Kilts Founder Nicholas Brand became a father at the most opportune of moments: up a ladder with his kilt flying over his head, cleaning gutters. What a memorable moment!

“I remember thinking ‘this is it!’” says Brand, “I climbed down from my ladder, ran to my car and was off. I still remember to this day exactly where I was, and what gutter I was cleaning when I found out.”

“Since I became a father, a lot has changed. I am definitely a lot busier. But I have also noticed that I am more concerned about safety regulations and my own safety when on the job. I don’t take risks like I used to. I have a greater responsibility than myself now.”

“Before I had kids, Men In Kilts was my greatest achievement, and now my greatest achievement is my children,” says Brand.

Happy Father’s Day Dads, whether kilted or not, every Dad is a superhero!

A Messy Message Of Love

It wasn’t too different from any other day when 7-year old Julian found himself exploring his creative side. This time, it was out of love for his mom.

“Mom, come look what I did!” yelled Julian from outside. His mom Sabrina, a Men In Kilts Customer Service Agent, thought to herself, ‘Oh no! This cannot be good!’

Sabrina walked around the corner, and there it was. A masterpiece of artistry created by the hands of her 7-year old son. “I love you Mom” was caked on to the vinyl siding of her home and hardened on by the sun- perfect! Now what mother could possibly be mad about that?

This photo really hit home for us. Many Men In Kilts employees have young children and also maintain full-time or part-time work.

This Mother’s Day we want to recognize all the amazing moms not only at Men In Kilts, but also all Mother’s who work hard to provide the best for their families every day!

Happy Mother’s Day Moms!

Meet Wallace The Men In Kilts Fire Truck

No Calgary, you are not imagining things. Those are Men In Kilts driving around on a giant tartan fire truck named Wallace!

Calgary and Edmonton franchise owner, Chris Carrier, first saw the old, abandoned fire truck sitting near the Village of Ghost Lake. He said it was in need of repair, and was of no value to the village. Carrier, thought “What better way to bring smiles into the world, than by driving around in a giant tartan truck!” The fire truck was auctioned off to the highest bidder and consequently, ended up in the hands of Carrier and the Men In Kilts Calgary clan!

“The reaction has been fantastic in Calgary,” says Carrier. “It has been making people look, perhaps maybe even MORE than the kilt!” Wallace will be making appearances at local community and charity events with the Men In Kilts clan in tow. So keep an eye out, just remember…No Peeking!

Men In Kilts Boston Featured On NBC

“A new business in the Boston area may turn a few heads, because it includes men who are skirting around town washing windows in kilts. They are the kind of window washers where wind could be a problem.

“Yesterday was actually really nice really sunny warm so kept the kilt down, no breezes,” said Chris Murphy, Men in Kilts.

The business is called Men in Kilts. The name says it all; they wash windows, pressure wash homes, and clean gutters in traditional Scottish garb — and they don’t seem to mind…”
