Biographies
Don
If three words could describe Don, they would be family, insurance, and love - that is, the love of connecting with people.
Don entered the health insurance market in 1970 under the guidance of London Life with whom he worked with until 1980. Always possessing the entrepreneurial bug and passion to connect, Don ventured out on his own and created Theriault Financial Inc., working with many Nova Scotia and New Brunswick business owners to provide affordable group benefits solutions for their employees.
Aside for Don’s time spent in the business, he has given many years to his community by serving on numerous boards including two terms with the Halifax Chamber of Commerce. He has volunteered his time with Mount Saint Vincent Alumnae events, is a past President of two of HRM’s Kiwanis Clubs, and is a past Lieutenant Governor with Kiwanis International.
In addition to Don’s obvious enthusiasm for business and his community, he shares the same passion for his family. When his children were growing up, Don spent many hours volunteering in hockey roles, on and off the ice, and in his church’s catechetics program. Now with grandchildren, Don (Papa) and Lynne (Grammie Lynne), love to travel throughout North America, share family times (often with their Harley Davidsons), and spend weekends at the family cottage in Parlee Beach, NB.
