Bob dedicated many years to the field of education, serving as the Director of Education for the Peel District School Board. His commitment to fostering a positive learning environment and improving educational standards has left a lasting impact on countless students, educators, and the community and country at large.
Bob’s passion for the betterment of education wasn’t limited to Peel. He was also a founding member of a national education organization known as ERDI Canada. The core value of which was establishing meaningful dialogue between business and education leaders across the country. RIP. For funeral details, click here
