He was involved in leadership, sports, senior care and was also the Legion treasurer. He was the Nevada Chair for seven years, Deputy Commander of Zone C2 and a visiting Veteran for Veteran’s Care.
Harold was awarded with a Certificate of Merit in 2001, Life Membership in 2004, Legionnaire of the Year in 2003 and received a Queen’s Jubilee Medal.
His volunteer activities include participating in the Committee for Warrior’s Day, Canada Day Parades, Meals on Wheels, becoming President of the Men’s Section Golf Course and being awarded Life Membership of the Puslinch Golf Course.
His hobbies and interests include golf, curling, the Legion and supporting Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides.
