Mike Foley

A first-generation Canadian with Irish roots, Mike Foley was born in Quebec and relocated to Ontario in 1982. His professional journey includes nearly three decades (1990-2018) of service with The Ministry of Public Safety & Correctional Services, following his role as National Marketing Manager for an electronics manufacturer in Mississauga. Mike's dedication to public education is evident through his elected positions as Public School Trustee—first for the Upper Grand Board representing Guelph (2018), and currently for the Simcoe Board serving the Wasaga Beach and Collingwood communities following his family's relocation in 2022. With a strong commitment to environmental causes, Mike served on the board of WasteWise from 1999-2019, a community recycling organization that converted profits into scholarships and grants. Currently, he volunteers with the Race Crew at Alpine ski club.
