George has been a Niagara resident all his life and has run a series of successful environmental-focused businesses including chemical and soil remediation, irrigation systems, wind and solar generation, and most recently bee keeping. With a degree from the University of Western Ontario in economics and a background in chemical product development, sales and global distribution, George has experience in business development, global trade and contact negotiation, customs brokerage and world wide sales strategy. A registered beekeeper for more than 25 years, George is a passionate advocate for beekeeping as a crucial component for Ontario’s agricultural success, now and in the future. He is a member of the Niagara Beekeepers Association. In 2001, he founded the Niagara Beeway, dedicated to the protection and preservation of Niagara’s honey bee populations. George believes that the survival and health of the beekeeping industry is pivotal and is totally aligned to the mandate and concerns of the OFA at many levels.
