“I didn’t do any of these things in the community for this (award), I did it to make it a better place,” said Bruce Heslop, the owner of Diamond Bar Equipment.
Heslop is involved in a variety of causes throughout the community, as well as helping in reducing crime and contributing to its beauty by volunteering throughout the summer to help water hanging baskets in the downtown core.
He is also currently working on a campaign to ‘shop local’ to help his fellow business operators.
