Fenestration Canada Welcomes Guardian’s Geoff Shellard to Board of Directors

February 22, 2024, Toronto, ON – Fenestration Canada is proud to welcome Geoff Shellard to its Board of Directors. Shellard is Pacific Northwest Architectural Design Manager for Guardian Glass, a world leader in glass innovation and production. This strategic move is a testament Fenestration Canada’s commitment to leadership excellence and its foresight into the evolving commercial glazing industry.

With over nine years of distinguished service in the fenestration sector, Geoff Shellard brings a wealth of experience to the FenCan board. His role as an architectural design manager and involvement with Fenestration Canada, and the glazing community have positioned him as a key influencer in the glass industry. “Fenestration Canada has always been a place to bring together all facets of industry knowledge and life experience under one banner,” said Shellard. “My hope is for the FenCan Commercial Chapter to help Canadian glaziers operate less in a silo, to utilize their Chapter more as a community and a gathering place for collaboration.”

“Geoff's acute understanding of the market, honed through his extensive interactions with fabricators, glaziers, architects, and specifiers, provides a unique perspective to challenges and successes within our industry,” said Cam Drew, president of Fenestration Canada. Drew, who is Managing Partner of Thermoproof Windows and Doors added, “As a brand champion and advocate, Geoff’s insights will drive strategic planning and contribute significantly to expanding the commercial chapter membership. His appointment aligns perfectly with FenCan’s mission to provide guidance for the association's future, ensuring sustained growth and innovation.”

The staff, board, and executive team at Fenestration Canada eagerly welcome Geoff’s eloquence and visionary approach. “Thank you to Geoff for stepping up and supporting Fenestration Canada,” said FenCan executive director Stéphane Labelle. “We are excited about what the future holds and are confident that Geoff will work closely with our Board to lead the way.” 

These impactful changes play a vital role in helping Fenestration Canada achieve its goals and advance the organization's mission of promoting energy-efficient fenestration solutions.
