For seven years, Richard contributed a local history column called Heritage to the Toronto Star.  His feature articles on a variety of topics have appeared in the Saturday Star and Sunday Star, as well as international history and genealogy magazines such as Family Chronicle and Internet Genealogy.  He co-hosted documentaries on Cable 10 in Etobicoke and has produced videos on a variety of subjects.

His family history book, Beyond the Great Pine Ridge, was published in 2004 and his most recent book, Ernest D. Banting and Life in Weston 1921-1973, was published in 2022.

An exciting and entertaining speaker, Richard is a graduate of the Toastmasters program.  He has made hundreds of presentations to numerous historical and genealogical societies as well as seniors groups from Oakville to Peterborough. 

Richard grew up in North York and studied Geography and Environmental Studies at York University.  He worked in the land survey business and at the City of Mississauga, where he was a Geographic Information Systems Specialist.

Now retired, he is able to travel the world and has added talks about his time touring Iceland, China, Ireland and the Netherlands as well as walking the Nakasendo Trail in Japan and along the full length of Hadrian’s Wall in England.

The Rotary Foundation helps Rotary members to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace by improving health, providing quality education, improving the environment, and alleviating poverty. Since it was founded more than 100 years ago, the Foundation has spent more than $4 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects.

Earth Day is also the 3rd annual Great Lakes Watershed Cleanup!

Our club will be joining Rotarians and non-Rotarians alike across communities bordering the Great Lakes in Canada and the United States to participate in cleaning up refuse within the Great Lakes basin. 

We will be meeting in the Rotary Peace Park at 25 11th Street on Saturday April 22nd from 12-2pm. All needed supplies as well as light refreshments will be provided after the cleanup for a brief social.

Please signup with Friends, Family, and Neighbours to partake in this Hands-On event. All are welcome to join in as we have lots of ground to cover (students in need of volunteer hours are especially welcome).
