Therese, an honour graduate of Humber College, worked for over thirty years as an investigator with the Ontario Provincial Government.

She grew up in Port Hope and after residing in Toronto for 10 years, she made the choice to return home where she now resides. Both Therese and her husband Peter are involved in many volunteer organizations in the community including the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario , the Port Hope Fall Fair, Greenwood Coalition and the Port Hope Archives. In 2002, Therese was recognized with a Governor General’s Caring Canadian award for her 25 years of volunteer service with Ronald McDonald House – an organization near and dear to her heart.

For the past five years, Therese has been a member of the Foundation’s Gala Ball Cabinet, as Chair of the Silent Auction.
