Jim Douglas

Message from our Chairperson and Treasurer
"Due to personal circumstances, I will be retiring from the Gananoque & District Humane Society effective March 31 2021. A transition plan was put in place some time ago and the Board of Directors has done a fantastic job in assuming the different roles that I was performing and I have every confidence that they will be able to continue running the operation.
I also want to thank all the volunteers for their dedication and support and also the staff for continuing to take in, care for and arrange adoptions for the animals in our care. It is because of these wonderful people that GDHS is so effective at what we do.
Until the next Annual General Meeting the Chairperson role will be collectively handled by the Board and the job of Treasurer will be assumed by Brittany Smith-Ellerbeck. Kelly Croft has assumed the role of Secretary. The different functions of the Board of Directors can be found on our website under the “More” tab.
With thanks to all our donors and supporters,
Jim Douglas"
Thank you Jim for all your hard work, dedication to the animals, mentoring of the board, and being part of the GDHS family. We will miss you!
