Doug Finley Memorial Dinner Committee

On November 26th, the Hon. Diane Finley made her farewell speech in the House of Commons after over 15 years of public service. She leaves an incredible legacy of leading by example - facing challenges head on and lifting up those around her. She also made history with Doug, being the only husband and wife to serve in both Houses at the same time. Congratulations, Diane!

Proud to announce that I have been selected as a Doug Finley Scholar! J’ai bien hâte de poursuivre mon apprentissage au Leadership Institute à Washington. I loo...k forward to helping the Conservative Party of Canada - Parti conservateur du Canada form a strong Conservative government in the near future. Photo: Maxime Côté Photography

After 16 years, the formidable Hon. Diane Finley is retiring as Member of Parliament of Haldimand-Norfolk. Thank you for your service, Diane!

*** The 6th Annual Doug Finley Dinner is Postponed until May 2021*** Every year, the Senator Doug Finley Memorial Fund looks forward to hosting a fun-filled evening for the Conservative community to unite, network, and hear from inspiring speakers. The event is in the spirit of honouring the great Doug Finley, and also to raise funds for a cause near and dear to Doug - motivating and training the next generation of activists. In this moment of crisis, our Board of Directors h...as postponed the 6thAnnual Doug Finley Dinner until May 2021.

Ticket holders and those on the waitlist will be first in line when the dinner is rescheduled. HOW YOU CAN HELP NOW Our Senator Doug Finley Memorial Scholarship Fund is in its fourth year, and we have already trained over a dozen of scholars who would be making Doug proud.

However, we need more. Please consider becoming a Fund sponsor in these challenging times and help us ensure this year’s group of scholars can still receive their training.
