Donald was always an active member of the communities in which he lived. In his early years he was Chairman of the SS#10 Brougham School Board and a member of the Brougham Volunteer Fire Brigade. He helped found the Pickering Township Museum and founded the Friends of Fort York. He was very proud of establishing Windreach Farm in Ashburn where he and his son raised a herd of Aberdeen Angus cattle.
Later in life his place of solace was Windreach Island in Killarney (Georgian Bay) Ontario. Throughout his life Don was a charter member of many social organizations, Pickering Hunt Club, Tomurondon Sporting & Fishing Club and most recently the Loyal, Honourable & Ancient Order of the Unicorn.
