Secretary / Treasurer |
In all of those markets, I have been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to get involved in the community in some shape or form as I do think the onus is on us to do what we can to improve the quality of life in our tiny corner of the world. Whether its The Kinsmen Clubs of Preston and Collingwood, the Terry Fox Run or serving as The President of The Collingwood Chamber of Commerce, every experience has been richly rewarding in its own way. Arriving at GIANTFM two year ago has allowed me to get to know and work with many of the business and community groups in this area. I look forward to working with the hospital foundation and doing what I can to assist in the foundation reaching its goals and objectives. |
