Patricia Wilson | President
Patricia is a newcomer to Haliburton, moving here in July 2004 with her husband Jim. A retired public health nurse, Pat worked with pregnant teens, families of young children and people with mental health issues. She continues to be very interested in programs that support families and the housing and food security issues that affect them. A home on Twelve Mile Lake has meant increased family time with her two sons, their partners and her three grandchildren. Swimming, boating and walking with family and friends are much more enjoyable in this beautiful county.

I graduated from Humber College in Etobicoke after a 3 year Interior design program. I worked for a design firm for a few months, then a wall paper company. In 1981 I started with Bell and have completed 30 years with them working in the construction department, business office and finally engineering. My grandmother bought on Kennisis Lake the summer of 1956 before I was born and our family has summered here ever since. I was able to get my transfer in Bell and my husband and I moved permanently into the area January 2003.
I’ve worked various charity events through out my career with Bell and I am currently on the community affairs team for Bell in Haliburton and lead the Back Pack for Kids program every summer.

Mary MacPhee | Finance Committee
I am a mother of 3 children and have been employed by the TD Bank over the past 28 years assisting people with their financial needs and services. My family and I moved to the Haliburton Highlands permanently in October 2002. I love working with groups of people and consider myself a team player. Being a Board member of Point and Time allows me to be a part of assisting children with physical, developmental, emotional, behavioural and social challenges. When I gave birth to my youngest child she was born premature and the support and assistance provided by Point in Time for the infant development was a blessing to have these services available. I believe it takes a village to raise a child and I am honored to continue to be involved with the services available to families and will continue to pay the services forward. |
