Dr. James and Charmaine Leeson Family

The Dr. James Leeson & Family Endowment Fund was established by Charmaine Leeson and family in memory of her late husband, Dr. James Leeson.

The fund was established to support Grey-Bruce students studying medicine and nursing. Both Charmaine and her husband James were introduced to the region after opening a Wiarton-based medical practice in 1958, which they operated until 1999. The couple were prominent members in the community even after their retirement to Sauble Beach, with Dr. James Leeson serving as president of the Bruce Medical Society and Wiarton Rotarian for several years.

The Dr. James and Charmaine Leeson & Family Fund will continue to support Grey-Bruce students with yearly awards for those pursuing a career in nursing or doctorates in medicine.
