Gary Perron

Gary Perron was born in the prairie province of Saskatchewan, where his early life was shaped by the wide-open landscapes and the strong sense of community that defines the region. When his family later moved to Winnipeg, the values of hard work, humility, and compassion continued to guide him. These early influences became the foundation of his character and stayed with him throughout his life. More than forty years ago, he made Calgary his home, where he built a life centered on family, meaningful relationships, and a lasting commitment to community. For him, Calgary has always represented the perfect balance—a city filled with opportunity and energy, surrounded by the natural beauty of Alberta that continues to inspire him. Family has always been at the heart of his life. He finds his greatest joy in spending time with his children and grandchildren, especially during the summer months at the family lake house. The lake house holds deep personal significance, serving as a gathering place where generations come together to share laughter, stories, and cherished traditions. For him, these gatherings are about more than leisure—they are moments of connection, where lessons, memories, and values are passed from one generation to the next. Whether showing a grandchild how to skip a stone across the water, enjoying quiet mornings on the dock, or leading a family game that brings everyone together, each moment represents the kind of joy that lasts well beyond the summer. The lake house is a place where life slows down, technology fades into the background, and relationships take center stage. Watching his grandchildren swim, fish, and explore the outdoors brings him a sense of peace and fulfillment that reflects what matters most to him—family and togetherness.
