March 7, Meeting
March 7 Speaker, Constable Trevor McKean
Addresses Fraud Prevention
Trevor McKean
Dennis was born in London Ontario. After school he spent the next five years in the Life Insurance business.
Looking for adventure, Dennis decided a career in Commercial Diving might be just the answer. So at the ripe old age of 24, he decided to enrol in a College Diving program, only to be told he was ‘too long in the tooth’, come back when you are younger!
Undaunted, he chose a career in law Enforcement, where you don’t have to look for excitement, it finds you.
A career with Waterloo Regional Police , followed by two years on an Ontario Police Board standardizing Policing Procedures and finally three years instructing at the Ontario Police College in Aylmer, Ontario, finished a very interesting and no doubt rewarding career!
Great story Dennis! Thanks for sharing it with us.

The Kings Wharf Theatre presents Jersey Boys
Jersey Boys is the international musical phenomenon that takes you behind the scenes – and behind the music – of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. Discover the secret of a 40-year friendship as four blue-collar guys work their way from the wrong side of the tracks to the heights of stardom, thrilling audiences with electrifying performances of chart-topping hits including “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Oh What a Night,” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.”
This is a very popular event so please do not be disappointed and get your tickets at the meeting. Last years Buddy Holly Story was a big success. Kings Wharf is an hours drive to Penatanguishene. At the waterside by the theatre we will have a picnic lunch (about noon) prior to the 2pm Matinee. As with last year, it is a self drive and bring your own picnic event. Friends, Neighbours and Family members most welcome to attend.
Tickets are: $53.
Performance is: Wednesday, August 14th, 2024.
Matinee: 2pm
