Norm served as Scotia Bank VP of Alberta and NWT until his retirement in 1998. After retiring, Norm resumed his love of the outdoors, hunting, fishing, and golfing. He also renewed his passion in Standardbred racing, owning many horses as well as serving on the boards of The Alberta Standardbred Horse Association and Horse Racing Alberta. Norm and Morinne recently celebrated their fifty-third wedding anniversary and enjoyed their annual spring holiday with cherished friends in Florida. Norm made regular trips back to PEI to visit with family and friends. Despite his work and many interests, Norm’s main love was for his family, who will miss his warmth, humour, and wisdom.
