Patricia Dennison
Biography
Patti is a self-starter who brings dedication, warmth, and a fun-loving spirit to everything she does. She is the proud mother of three grown sons, a nana, a devoted wife, and a loyal friend who values meaningful connections and lasting relationships.
Her professional career was rooted in the construction industry, where she worked first as a licensed electrician and later as a sales manager overseeing a large territory across Ontario. Her career reflects both her strong work ethic and her ability to connect with people from all walks of life.
Patti has a deep love for the outdoors and enjoys staying active through golf, gravel cycling, swimming, and pickleball. Among her favorite ways to relax, however, is playing American mah jongg, a pastime she especially enjoys for both the challenge and connection it brings.
She is also deeply committed to giving back to her community, volunteering several hours each week at a local nonprofit bike shop, where she helps repair and refurbish used bicycles for sale at affordable prices.
