Owner & Director

Born in Richmond Hill and raised in Gilford, Lisa Sturdy graduated from Bradford District High School and later studied Nursing at Loyalist College, Ryerson University, and then Cardiovascular Perfusion at the Michener Institute in Toronto.

Lisa began her professional career as an educator for the ECLS and Perfusion programs at the Hospital for Sick Children, where she remained for 25 years.

Having had the opportunity to travel and teach in a number of different countries around the world during her career, Lisa completed a team mission in China, which assisted in the development of a pediatric cardiac surgical program. Lisa also had the opportunity to present a variety of peer-reviewed research papers in Turkey, Argentina, and Australia.

However, as the daughter of Lawrence and Diane Sturdy, Lisa had been long exposed to the everyday operation of Sturdy Power Lines from a young age. She would find herself on-site with her father on a number of occasions, learning the language and acquiring a variety of skills.

Returning home to the family business, Lisa is now working alongside her brother, Glenn.

Outside of work, Lisa is passionate about mission work and is dedicated to a Canadian non-profit organization that supports work in Haiti. Lisa is also a proud mom to daughters Breann and Lauren, and is a passionate member of the Newmarket Chamber of Commerce and Southlake Hospital Ladies in Philanthropy.

Growing up on a farm in Bradford, Doug Johnston was born a hard-worker.

While in his early 20’s, Doug began to work with Lawrence Sturdy and soon realized his career path was meant to be in the trades. 

Following an apprenticeship with Vaughan Hydro, Doug returned to work for Sturdy Power Lines in April of 2004.

“We have been working with Sturdy Power Lines Ltd. since their inception in 1981. We have always found them to be honest and fair with an exemplary dedication to excellence. We recommend Sturdy Power Lines Ltd. without hesitation.”
