Garry Morehouse - Executive Director

Garry chose Huronia as a weekend retreat for the quality of life it offers. He left his job in Toronto as a Director for Visa Canada Association to live full time in Midland.  "I bought into the concept of community foundation ‘endowments’ as a way to make charitable donations last forever. This has significant appeal to me personally and I see it as being very good for the future of the community in which I live. I would like to look back and say that I played a part in generating assets in excess of $2,000,000 that enable the Huronia Communities Foundation to make grants of more than $100,000 each year, forever.”
