Ron Doyle retires as Director

Thank you to Ron Doyle for your years of service with the Kingston Hydro Board of Directors.

Mr. Doyle was appointed as Director of Kingston Hydro Corporation on May 30, 2005. During his 12-year tenure, he helped move forward several initiatives critical to the long-term sustainability of Kingston Hydro. These included two Electricity Distribution Rate Applications and the Kingston Hydro Strategic Plan for 2012-2017.

"Ron demonstrated a clear understanding and appreciation for the role of the Board in providing direction and guidance to management, which he was able to communicate in a very direct and supportive manner. Ron was an excellent Board member and I will truly miss his guidance," says Jim Keech, president and CEO.

In his work as Director, Mr. Doyle drew on an expansive professional background, which included presidency of Sault College, and various positions as a professional electrical engineer with General Electric. 

Mr. Doyle consistently represented and supported Kingston Hydro and its initiatives, including at the annual ENERCOM event, which brings together senior executives from the Canadian energy industry. We thank you for your dedication throughout the years.
