OUR HISTORY

MacDonnell Fuels has been a local fuel distribution company in the area for almost 6 decades. Our mission has always been to stay focused on good, old-fashioned customer service, with speedy delivery and quality products.

1950's

Gary MacDonnell travelled all over Grey/Bruce in his 1956 Chev.

Gary MacDonnell was a farm agent for White Rose. Gary travelled all over Grey/Bruce in his 1956 Chev.

1960's

1964

In 1964 Shell purchased White Rose, so MacDonnell Fuels became a farm agent for Shell Canada. Gary would load out of the Shell Marine Bulk Plant, located on the shore of the Owen Sound Harbour.

Back in those days the fuel was brought into the Owen Sound Harbour by boat and unloaded into the massive tanks that lined the harbour.

1980's
