Dermot has been out of the public eye since the beginning of 2011.
What has retirement been like for him?
Because he had spent the previous 16 years helping people as Executive Director of the Calgary Drop-In Centre, Dermot wanted to continue doing things for others. He started with our neighbors.
During the winter he used his John Deer tractor to plow seven or eight driveways when snow arrived. Absolutely no charge! He wouldn’t think of taking money. This was his gift to the community that surrounded us on our road.
At other times the tractor came in handy to move rocks and trees on our property and others.
