Bastien Industries – Our family business all started with Francine and Kurt Scheuermann in a small town east of Toronto, Ontario. Kurt and Francine wanted to escape the busy city life and picked Westport Ontario as a rural place to settle.
They decided to start a retail store that carried Canadian made goods. This retail store was called The Brown Bear and was open from 1972 until 1998. The store became an icon for the community and many shoppers would travel long distances to visit quaint little Westport and shop at The Brown Bear.
