Story: Philanthropy.  Ian Laing had a successful business in Gatewest Coin, still going strong even after 50 years. He decided it was time to give back to the community so in 2017, he established the Ian and Rochelle Laing Foundation. The family foundation has since donated a total of over $5 million to a number of registered charities involved in animal welfare, education, veterans, womenճ initiatives and others as well.
