Since we spend a lot of time making a difference, one of the most rewarding places to do that is close to home. The average Faculty of Agriculture employee volunteers ten times each year to work on projects that make our communities more vibrant and healthy.

David believes that we should take pride in making our communities just a little better each day. That鈥檚 why he spends countless hours volunteering wherever he can in his community.

Currently, he is Deputy Chief of the Special Hazards Response Unit, a member of the planning committee of the Chignecto West Regional Science Fair, a member of the Harmony Heights Elementary School Advisory Committee, Training Coordinator for the Colchester Firefighters Association and a coach for Tidbits soccer in the Truro area.

David plans to give back for as long as he can. In 2012, Truro was able to give back to him by recognizing him as its Volunteer of the Year.
