Rory grew up in Brant Hills in Burlington and has been active in the community since returning home, co-creating and chairing the One Burlington Festival in 2017 and 2018, opposing the closure of Lester B. Pearson High School and connecting Burlington to the world through the Mundialization Committee. Rory’s local efforts were acknowledged with a Burlington150 Award in 2017, and a nomination for the Burlington Best Community Service Award the same year. Rory enjoys spending time with friends and family, especially his partner Karina, and travelling whenever he can.
