Camping has changed a lot since 1973, when Portage Toyota and RV started out as Portage Leisure Centre. But some things – important things – have stayed the same, such as the family ownership and operation of the business and its commitment to providing a comfortable, accessible experience for customers.

“Over the years, trailers have become a home away from home,” reflects Adam Trudeau, General Manager at Portage Toyota & RV. “All the amenities are now with you while camping.”

While going through a greater agony than you or I could ever imagine Jesus utters 7 things that show us who Jesus really is and what he’s all about.
