About TCRA

Doug has lived in Oakville since 1969, with a brief three-year absence during the eighties. Originally trained as a mining engineer, he spent most of his career as an information technologist, working for Inco Ltd. Now retired, Doug lives on Trafalgar Road, overlooking the 16 Mile Creek. An immigrant from England, he feels truly blessed to live in Canada and in this lovely town.

Doug has lived in east/old Oakville for over 20 years. Retired from the steel industry, he has an Engineering degree from Queen’s and an MBA from McMaster. 

Doug enjoys many sports, and the outdoors, in all seasons. Indoor interests include reading, history, and doing research, learning new things. Doug enjoys contributing, and where possible making a difference.

Lorraine loves Oakville with all her heart and is a strong advocate for community affairs.  

Hugh and his wife Linda came to Canada from Scotland in 1974 planning for a two-year travel adventure before returning home. Those two years became fifty years, and Canada became home. They have three children and five grandchildren and have lived in the area since 2002.

Hugh has a degree in Physics from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, and retired from IMAX Corp in 2015 as a Senior VP for Film Production.

Hugh and Linda love Oakville and intend it to be their forever home. Serving as a Director of TCRA is Hugh’s way of repaying in some very small way for the privilege of enjoying this unique town.
