Grant Armstrong

Grant Armstrong was sponsored into Rotary by his father, Bill.

Grant said as a young high school student he was shy but acting in school plays let him pretend to be someone else. Well, it certainly helped overcome his shyness.  He is now able to turn a two minute conversation into 15 minutes! As a university student he worked part-time in retail, later taking on a job in Vancouver selling hospital style modrobes. He then started working for Staples and is now the manager of the Waterdown store. He is very proud that his store received the Community Service Award from the Waterdown Chamber of Commerce. His is the first big box business in Waterdown to receive the award. Grant had a preconceived idea about Rotary from his dad Bill that the service club was all encompassing. He has since realized that each person has something to offer, some more than others at a particular time in their lives and that the strength of a club is based on the collective group. Grant is married, has three children and lives in Dundas.
