Community Leader

Dorian cares deeply about our community.  His dedication was evident in his run for Pembroke City Council in 2022, where he narrowly missed election by a small margin.

Since 2020, Dorian has been helping the local Kiwanis Club of Pembroke in raising funds for their annual Christmas Toy & Food Drive, though the organization of a annual Telethon. This event puts the spotlight on community though interviews with important community organizations and by showcasing the amazing talent located here in the Ottawa Valley.

From 2020 to 2023, Dorian served as a director of Ottawa Valley Community Arts, an organization devoted to integrating various creative arts into the lives of individuals and communities in the Ottawa Valley.

Dorian is a founding member and former chair of the City of Pembroke's Climate Action Advisory Committee, focusing on addressing climate change at a municipal level. 

Additionally, Dorian's political engagement is notable in his management of Kurt Stoll's election campaign for the NDP in 2022 and as the lead Volunteer Coordinator for Jodie Primeau's NDP campaign in 2021. Both campaigns achieved unprecedented results for the NDP in the region.
