John Adams Joins Friends’ Board John Adams, now a management consultant but formerly a well known member of Toronto City Council from 1991 to 2000, has joined the board of directors of the Friends of Fort York. During his time on Council, he championed several heritage and environmental causes. He also served as a trustee of Canada’s largest public hospital, the University Health Network, incorporating the Toronto General, Toronto Western and Princess Margaret Hospitals. With David Miller, he co-chaired the City’s Oak Ridges Moraine Steering Committee, directing a strategy to help protect this sensitive area where the Humber, Don and Rouge Rivers rise. John serves as treasurer of the Canadian Organization for Rare Disorders and has been a keen advocate for the expanded screening of newborns to detect brain and life-threatening disorders. He brings to the board experience as director of marketing services for the Urban Transportation Development Corp., as Executive Assistant to the Hon. Keith Norton, Minister of Community and Social Services in the Davis government, and as a reporter for The Globe and Mail covering City Hall and education–his first job on graduating from York University. John has also been a long-time and much appreciated supporter of the Friends as a volunteer in our parking operations during the CNE. Welcome a-board, John!
