I was born and raised on Manitoulin Island. I graduated from Cambrian College with a Diploma of Business for the three year Accounting program in May 1980. I was fortunate to find employment on the Island with a local accounting firm, Barnes & Barnes Chartered Accountant, now known as Laberge Venne & Partners. My duties include bookkeeping, financial statement preparation, personal and corporate income tax return preparation. I am actively involved in the tourist and farm industries which are both important to the local economy. I am happy to be part of the LVP Team.
