Jason & Tammy deGraaf 

Jason and Tammy deGraaf grew up in Canning, both attending Glooscap Elementary and (at that time) Cornwallis District High so they have a special appreciation of how wonderful and unique our community is!  They’ve sponsored many groups, events, and organisations like Glooscap, NKEC, The Canning Legion, The Canning Fire Hall, the Girl Guides, Scouts, and Brownies, Kingsport and Sheffield Mills Days, the Apple Blossom Festival, Big Brother and Big Sister, to mention just a few, as well as making generous private donations.

They first opened the original store in 1996 and they’ve enjoyed serving the Canning area since then.  As most Canning residents know, they moved to their current brand-new location at 2157 Sheffield Rd. in January 2018, right at the entrance to the village along Highway 358.

Their amazing location offers convenience, gasoline, fresh, tasty drive-through Robin’s donuts and coffee, and a restaurant with delicious options to eat in or take out. Check them out at Degraafscafe.ca.  Of course, smiles are free and included with every visit!

Amid a global pandemic, they’ve received much support from the bustling, caring community.  They do what they do “because of all the amazing people that are willing to help each other navigate these strange waters. A sincere thank you to our community for all your support, we wouldn’t be here without you!  Stay safe and strong!”
