JOHN WEINSTEIN
“We will all have a day that has no tomorrow. I have had that day.
Still, we all live on in the contributions we have made, in the lives we have touched, in the people who remember us.
My wish is that you are not sad because I am no longer alive, my wish is that I live on in you and that you are glad you knew me.
May you all have many tomorrows.”

In Loving Memory of John Weinstein
It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of John Weinstein, our founder, mentor, and visionary, who left us on Tuesday after a brief battle with cancer.
John was the heart and soul of Inclined Elevation. With a PhD in Physics from the University of Toronto, he combined brilliance, creativity, and dedication to design build, and service over 130 lifts, shaping the very foundation of the lifts we offer today. His innovative spirit and relentless pursuit of excellence set the standard for our work and inspired everyone around him.
While John is no longer with us, his vision continues to guide Inclined Elevation. Every lift we build, every service we provide, carries forward his legacy of care, precision, and innovation. We are committed to honoring John by continuing the work he loved, ensuring the same high standard of service and passion that he instilled in our company.
In lieu of flowers, we kindly requests that donations be made to Bracebridge Hospital Foundation or Muskoka Hospice, to support the care and comfort of others in our community.
We invite you to share your memories and messages of support below.
John’s impact goes beyond the lifts he built. It is felt in the lives he touched, the colleagues he inspired, and the community he helped elevate. He will always be remembered, cherished, and honored in everything we do.
