Northern Inflatables expands regional event services

Northern Inflatables, a family-run business, has expanded significantly since its inception. Founded by Christine Ashcroft nearly seven years ago after her move from Vancouver Island, the company began with three inflatable units and a trailer.

Now in its fifth season, the business provides bouncy castles, snow cones, cotton candy, and a mechanical bull named Thunder for events ranging from Quesnel to Terrace. Ashcroft operates the business alongside her son, David. Due to high demand, some customers now book services up to a year in advance, occasionally forcing the business to decline requests when schedules overlap.
