Since retiring he has walked the Camino Santiago, hiked the Grand Canyon from rim to rim, learned how to skate ski, walked Hadrian's Wall with his wife Patricia, and most recently completed a roadtrip across North America in a van that he converted himself.

Shared interests in travel and the enjoyment of walking led them to the Camino de Santiago in Northern Spain. They walked a partial Camino (Astorga to Palas de Rey) in 2012. In 2013 they walked from St. Jean-Pied de Port, France to Burgos and in 2014 they filled in the gaps to complete the Camino. Since then they walked several side trails in France and Spain.

Chair: Dave MillsTwo words that Debbie Adams uses to describe herself is “workaholic and reluctant entrepreneur”. Losing her career as a solider because of vision loss was devastating and in spite of graduating from university with distinction at age 46, employers were still not willing to employ her. So, she did the one thing she had control over – she hired herself. Debbie is not only the owner of PeopleCan Training in Lower Sackville, she also teaches other entrepreneurs to learn the lessons that she had to learn the hard way. She helps small businesses become profitable sooner and profitable again with her practical lessons that she earned at the school of hard knocks. She loves to talk about the elephant in the room – unconscious bias against making money. Debbie may live with disabilities but she doesn’t let that slow her down. In 2016, she was chosen as Entrepreneur of the Year. She is also a 3 time published author. Debbie travels the country speaking to people about tough topics like money, change and entrepreneurship. When she isn’t working, she enjoys connecting with her roots in the great outdoors. She is a Newfoundlander at heart but lives in Nova Scotia with her daughter Alyssa.
