The story behind URCHIN

More than four decades ago, Roger established Urchin Property Management Inc. The inspiration for the name "Urchin" stemmed from his familial ties and his residence in the Maritimes. "Urchin" symbolizes the sea creature, reflecting Roger's affinity for coastal living near the Atlantic Ocean. Additionally, it incorporates an acronym derived from the initials of his three children (UR) (CH) (IN) in chronological order of birth.
