Gail, Reid and Family, my deepest condolences for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Colin while co-organizing the Georgina Waterfront Harvest Run held at Clearwater Farm in 2019.

Gail, Reid, and others who have had the pleasure of knowing Colin, I work at the Town of Georgina and had the pleasure of working with Colin on the approvals related to Clearwater Farms. Colin was one of, if not the most passionate person I've ever met. Colin had an intense drive for innovation, and seeing concrete positive results. Clearwater Farms, and the Town was fortunate to have Colin push for amazing community benefits. I wish Colin's family and friends well. Thanks, Owen

Gail and Reid, my deepest condolences for your loss. My first interaction with Colin was through the GBA where he was a very passionate board member. I later learned of the mutual connections we shared. He was energetic and always a source of ideas. Many that carry on today. Nothing was an obstacle. Take care, Eric

Dear Gail and Reid, I did not have the pleasure of meeting Colin, but I heard wonderful things about him from my parents Mark and Jennifer.

Both Jennifer and Mark speak so highly of him, specifically his quick wit and kindness, but it´s clear from the graceful writing above that he was also steadfast in his commitment to his communities, intellectual pursuits and insatiable curiosity. I wish I had the opportunity to meet and know him. Meg and I are keeping you both in our hearts, and we are sending healing, loving kindness to the entire Dobell family. May you...
