Have We Crossed Paths?
Maybe weโve met somewhere. Iโve been in Collingwood for 10 years. You may have seen me at a Rotary event. Iโm currently President of the Rotary Club of Collingwood,. Iโm also a friend and supporter of E3 Community Services, BMFA, Collingwood Writers Collective, and several other local organizations doing great work in Collingwood.
My daughter attended Pretty River Academy, participated in Collingwood Trailblazers Basketball, and is now a photography student at TMU.
Or you may also know me from my garden plot at Free Spirit Community Gardens. I am a pastย President of the local chapter of Business Network International (BNI), and have written three plays for past productions of Gaslight Community Theatre. I am also at the YMCA a lot and I am a frequent participant in lunchtime Spanish classes at the Collingwood library.
