In addition to his years of experience in hospitality, Michael attended culinary school where he was trained as a classical French chef. He says his experience in culinary environments has given him the right recipe for success in the parking industry. “I always look for ways to create unique, memorable and personal experiences for our clients and customers. When I was cooking professionally, I was fortunate to have the freedom to innovate and improve.

Recently, Scotiabank of Canada, held a branch fundraiser to support Children’s Hospital. Upon hearing of the event, Diamond Parking immediately stepped up making a financial contribution. Diamond also ensured that the facility they manage on the bank’s behalf was secured to hold the function. “We did our small part to support our client in this most worthwhile cause,” notes Mike Poirer, Regional Vice President of Operations in Vancouver B.C. Mike said that the bank offered to put Diamond’s logo on all event advertising for their support. “We suggested the resources would be more appropriately donated to Children’s Hospital.” The fundraiser exceeded expectations and serves as an excellent example of how Diamond works cooperatively to support community initiatives.
