Proven Leadership in the Community

For over a decade, Rich has led an annual Run-Walk-Roll fundraiser in support of the WRHN Cancer Centre (formerly Grand River Regional Cancer Centre). Working alongside a dedicated team of volunteers, local businesses, and community supporters, this initiative has raised important funds to help make cancer treatment 

a little better for those going through it.

Rich has also served on the Downtown Advisory Committee and the Huron Community Association. This effort reflects the kind of leadership Rich brings,  building partnerships and bringing people together to turn community support into real results.
