I am Deb Harris Shallow and I have lived in Dorion for 47 years. I am a business owner and Municipal Councillor. I have been a member of many volunteer boards and committees over the years.

I have a deep interest in the developmental services sector as my two daughters are members of SGACL. I am committed to working toward the growth and modernization of our association to help improve the lives of those we serve.

My name is Ann-Marie Cartwright. I am a 58 year old store owner, dog lover and mother of one (with Special Needs). I’m on the board because it’s important to me that all people have a home and too many people are overlooked by society because they can’t look after themselves so they need advocates.

Darryl Lorek likes to attend the meetings because they make him feel important and he enjoys listening to everything that goes on there. Darryl really enjoys suntanning, swimming, listening to music and doing crafts.
