Hey there, time traveller!

Attention Wildwood, the Snow Bros are at your service. Shrewd businessmen, ambitious, philanthropic – and they are only nine years old.

Sawyer Sobiski and Taig Turner have launched a snow-shovelling business that is already gaining traction. If you live on Oakenwald Avenue or South Drive, perhaps they have knocked on your door. They are conducting affairs with a personal touch. Sawyer revealed, “We have a whole list of clients, and a few favourites.” Already media savvy, he politely declined to reveal their names.

They’ve been best friends since kindergarten; the bond is strong, they feel like brothers. The inspiration for their business?

Taig said “One day when it snowed, we thought we could help the elderly and make money doing it for them. We just wanted to help.”

Currently, there is not a lot of snow-clearing competition, but when it comes, they will be ready. Like all knowledgeable businessmen, they are looking to the future. Taig reveals that, by the time they are in Grade 6, “We are hoping to expand the business to nine or 10 streets and get over 50 clients. We want to help more people.”

How will they accomplish this?

“We’ll be older and stronger and will probably have an electric snow shovel,” Sawyer said.

Their sisters have offered to join Snow Bros, but they have rejected the idea. They are a two-person team and want to stay that way.

Not limiting themselves to the winter months, they’ll be offering weeding services in the summer and raking in the fall. They will be literally raking the money in! But it’s not all for them.

The money is going to two very good causes. First, some will go to Kid Sport Manitoba.,

“We want to donate it to the people who can’t afford to play sports,” Sawyer explained.

Second, as avid hockey players they are investing in their future. They want to collect the full set of Bauer Mystery Mini hockey sticks because they want to conquer the hockey world, as well. They aspire to professional hockey. Their pathway to success is already clear to them, and not surprisingly they want to play on the same team. They realistically acknowledge the challenge: “It’s going to be tough, though”.

When it happens, they’ll sell the business. Until then, these boys are hard at work. Some people dream without planning. The Snow Bros are doing both!
