Meet the Business Owner

Guy Laporte and Craig Ashton L.

Business Owner

Craig comes from an operatic background. He has performed leading opera roles in the Canadian Opera Company, the Banff Festival, the Edmonton and Vancouver Operas, and many other productions in Canada and abroad. As well, he has worked in musical theatre. His most notable roles were in The Stratford Festival’s The Gondoliers and Harold Prince’s The Phantom of the Opera and Show Boat. Craig was also a member of the original Canadian Tenors.

«I am always happy singing» says Craig. «I had a very nice career and it was hard to walk away from that.»

For Guy the journey has been from professional fundraising to managing the business end of Craigleith Manor. For the last twenty years he worked as an executive in the non-​profit sector, directing large fundraising projects. «It was stressful and hard work, but very rewarding,» he says. «I always believed in the charities that I worked for. They all made an important difference in the lives of Canadians.»
