About the Speakers:
Business Transition Success Story:
Bill Hogg / Sunset Campground
A native of Summerside, PEI, Bill Hogg has many ties to the Cavendish area through his wide-spanning career – he worked at the construction firm that built Sunset Campground, was a proud Parks Canada employee for 30 years, and was a development partner in Eagles Glenn golf course. In 1985, Hogg purchased Sunset Campground in Cavendish from the original owner/operators. Hogg sold his share in Sunset Campground in 2011, but was very active through the transition period and continues to support the new Campground owners during the busy summer seasons. Hogg will share his experiences of transitioning a popular Island tourist destination to a newcomer entrepreneur.
