Bio: Born in nearby Harriston, Ontario, Neil has become a fixture in Waterloo Region as a media personality, a sales executive, a business development expert and a popular actor, speaker and MC. Neil has stood with The Working Centre as Master of Ceremonies for the Mayors’ Dinner for 28 years – he has helped them build this event to be an important celebration of our diverse community. Together they have honoured an amazing list of community builders – and each year Neil helped attendees to laugh at ourselves, to celebrate the contributions of each Guest of Honour, and to tease out the ways that each person made their unique contribution to our community. Neil uses humour to teach about personality, service and community as a speaker across Canada and the US. He has successfully co-written and performed Sorry I’m Canadian which brings Canadians together to learn about their history and to laugh about themselves. Presently, Neil is Senior Manager of Market Development for Melloul-Blamey Construction and President of Drayton Entertainment's Board of Directors. He is a charter member of the Kitchener Westmount Rotary Club and has been named a Paul Harris Fellow three times, Rotary’s highest award for community service. From the beginning, Neil has contributed behind the scenes to the building of Drayton Entertainment. Neil was K-W Citizen of the Year in 2016. Neil serves as Master of Ceremonies for countless charities and public events.
The Thirtieth Annual Mayors’ Dinner will celebrate the way Neil engages humour as a community building tool.
