This weeks Rotary Program will feature the presentation of our Rotary Club's Paul Harris Award Winner in conjunction with the Downtown with a Purpose Gala. The person selected is Doug Goss. Doug has been involved in our community in many ways. This article was taken from "Canoe" to provide an example of the involvement Doug participates in.

When the Edmonton Oilers began looking for somebody to help stage an outdoor hockey game at Commonwealth Stadium, lawyer Doug Goss was a natural selection.

A huge Oilers fan, Goss, a merger-and-acquisitions specialist with Bryan & Company, has put his talents to work for dozens of worthwhile causes in Alberta's capital. Among the more notable efforts, Goss sits on the boards of the Edmonton Eskimos Football Club, the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation and Kids Kottage. He also co-chairs Alberta's Promise, a group established by Premier Ralph Klein and led by business leaders to help improve the lives of children. Goss, who also serves as a board member for Capital Health, the Alberta Economic Development Authority and NAIT, was mooted as an ideal mayoralty candidate by an Edmonton Journal columnist, an idea that Goss dismissed because, he says, his wife Joanne, a provincial court judge, would kill him.
