Public safety personnel family and community supports

Scott has always had a passion for public service. Following the completion of his BA (Hons) in International Relations and Canadian Public Policy at the University of Toronto, he began his career on Parliament Hill. Scott’s involvement in the federal government would see him involved in several high profile Consular Affairs cases, interceding and advocating for Canadian’s detained abroad. Prior to joining Wounded Warriors Canada, Scott successfully transitioned his experience in the federal government to the province of Ontario. While at Queen’s Park, he continued to apply his public policy experience to provincial matters and was able to advance a number of important social policy improvements -- focusing particularly on mental health and social services available to children and youth.

On June 11, 2007 Trooper Darryl Caswell, a high school friend of Scott’s was killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan. From that day forward, Scott made a promise to himself that he would find a way to give back to those who so bravely serve Canada. In 2013, Scott accepted the position of Executive Director of Wounded Warriors Canada. He embarked on a journey in the mental health sector that has seen him successfully
transform what was a volunteer-based, local charitable fund into a national mental health service provider that supports over 5,000 Veterans, First Responders and their families each year.
