Company Performance Metrics
B. J. Bear Grain Co. Ltd. can be traced back to Shantz Bros. Ltd.; a company originally owned by Frank and Ed Shantz which for many years was responsible for the removal and marketing of the spent brewers grain from the area breweries.
In 1975 we purchased the business and formed a new waste management company called Big Bear Services. During
the late 70's and 80's Big Bear Services continued with removing and marketing of spent brewers grain. They also began to develop a solid waste disposal division that specialized in removal of commercial solid waste in the K-W area. This company operated in the Waterloo region until 1989 until the waste division was sold to Waste Management and operates at 645 Conrad Place to this day. A new company was formed called B. J. Bear Grain Co. Ltd.
