BOARD CHANGES 2022
We are delighted to welcome 3 new members* to the board.
Jane Manning Marshall recently retired from teaching history, and with her husband Michael, bought a cottage on the end of South Shore Road. They now live full time in Pointe au Baril and are actively involved in their new community. Jane previously served on the Town of Vaughan’s Architectural Advisory Committee. Jane’s academic background and experience will be a great asset.
Doug Barrett and his family are long time-time Pointe au Baril cottagers. They own several historic buildings near the lighthouse that were part of the original fishing village. Doug practiced law for many years and brings much valued legal and governance experience to the board. He is also a keen historian.
Rainer Kaufmann currently serves on the Ojibway Club Board as Director of Facilities, and has graciously offered to join the OHPS Board to serve as a liaison. This will enable better and timely communication as decisions are made regarding upkeep of our heritage buildings. Rainer is an engineer and works in the financial sector.
If YOU are interested in history, the preservation of these extraordinary buildings, and might like to join a terrific group of like-minded folks, please consider a nomination to The OHPS Board. It is fun, interesting and rewarding work - and not too onerous. Please contact any one of us if you are interested, or have any comments or questions about the OHPS. We welcome any and all input!
