Wayne Stewart

Wayne Stewart graduated from Holland College’s plumbing program, obtained his Red Seal certification, and then moved to Calgary, Alberta.  He continued to work in the plumbing business before becoming a co-owner of Blackcomb Plumbing & Heating in 1998.

He and his business partner purchased A. R. Wright Plumbing and Heating in 2006, the second oldest plumbing company in Calgary, established in 1919, and Wayne is currently the president of the company.

In 2006, Wayne was instrumental in starting a fundraising campaign to benefit the Children’s Wish Foundation in Prince Edward Island and Alberta. Together, with the support of the PEI Rumrunners Hockey Club, he established a golf tournament in which the members hoped to raise $5,000. Much to their surprise, they raised $40,000 and continued to exceed that amount each year. In ten years, they have raised $1 million.

Wayne is a champion and advocate for Holland College in Calgary as a proud alumnus. Through Wayne’s love of, and involvement with golf and hockey, both the provinces of Alberta and Prince Edward Island continue to benefit from his efforts.

Wayne received a Distinguished Alumni Award in 2015.
