It all started with a dream to make a difference in my family’s life and show others we can help in unique ways. From my time as a baby at SickKids Hospital to my son’s recent care there, I’ve seen how compassion changes lives. That’s why I founded the Muir Fund—a $1B CAD commitment to transform Orillia and Severn into a green, forward-looking city, using 100% local labor.

We’re investing $400M to help 17,000+ patients yearly through SickKids Foundation, Mariposa House Hospice, and Orillia Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital (OSMH). A $200M 100MW solar farm at 4361 12 Highway S—pitched to Prime Minister Mark Carney for federal support—will power 15,000 homes, create 220 jobs, and cut 90,000 tons of CO2 yearly. With $400M, we’re revitalizing downtown Orillia, starting with the Tudhope Building (50 Andrew Street South) as a Muir Fund Business Hub open to all, alongside a Tesla dealership pitched to Elon Musk with a $5M subsidy and free solar charging.

The Muir Fund is about helping everyone—families, patients, workers, and dreamers—while creating 600+ jobs and $50M-$100M in tourism revenue. Join us at muirfund.com to support our vision, sign our petition, or tweet #MuirFundTesla. Together, let’s make Orillia a beacon of green opportunity.
