This is the wonderful result of years of planning, the last two doing the real work, with no small number of kilometres on the 400 for me. I’ve been a director at Wendat and chair of the property committee for over a decade, and I have never been more proud of the agency or exhausted from the work. The residence is beautiful. It fits into the neighbourhood well and will be a great neighbour to the community. Low income seniors in north Simcoe County will benefit from it for decades.
The completion of the residence is the swan song of our dedicated Executive Director, Lorna Tomlinson. But for her drive, outright coercion of donor dollars, creativity and passion, this seniors’ residence would not exist.

Advocacy. Strong, focused, clear, directed, considered, balanced.
Don has been practicing law since 2002, with a genuine desire to help people - to help people realize their goals effectively and efficiently. His practice has been centred around property law, from real estate acquisition, sales and financing to assertions of property rights. And advocacy, through acting as the federal Crown attorney for the Midland and Penetanguishene area for eight years to criminal defence to civil litigation and administrative law, education law – advocating for marginalized students and families, and advocating for low-income seniors – to have a place to live safely and with dignity.
Until 2012 Don ran a busy and productive litigation practice at Hacker Gignac Rice (now HGR Graham Partners LLP) in Simcoe County, including civil, administrative and criminal law areas, with a focus on real property matters. The practice evolved and added real estate and mortgage transactions, and throughout his time there he was the local Standing Agent for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
In 2012 Don relocated to Mills and Mills LLP in Toronto, where his practice centres around litigation - civil, administrative and criminal, but he maintains his connection with Simcoe County, continuing as a director of the board of Wendat Community Programs. Wendat serves adults in the community affected by mental illness, and also has a mandate to serve low income seniors.
Don speaks and writes on a broad range of topics including the Canadian justice system, social and commercial host liability, residential tenancies, residential real estate and mortgage transactions. You can find him on twitter @donperrylawyer
