In their own words, via the Town

Doug has lived in the Durham area for more than 40 years after growing up in Grey Highlands. He attended Grey Highlands Secondary School and then went on to graduate from the University of Western Ontario with his Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education degrees. He spent most of his career teaching in the Durham area before moving into the administrative role as first a vice-principal then principal with the Bluewater Board of Education. Being retired for more than 14 years, Doug looks forward to spending his third term on West Grey council moving the municipality forward. Many changes are coming our way and he is excited about the possibilities that come with these improvements. Doug has always been an active community member. He has been married for more than 40 years with three grown children and four grandchildren.
