After serving twenty-three years on the CTHS Ontario Board of Directors, Peter Berringer, the current President, has elected to step down from the Board.
“After considerable thought and with great mixed feelings, I feel it is now best for me to move on, allowing a new vision to guide and represent the Breeders of Ontario. I have other opportunities I wish to pursue and spend more time with family while dedicating more time to my training business and enjoying my farm,” stated Peter in his letter to the Board.
Peter will be missed by the membership and the CTHS Ontario Board. He has been a leader who was approachable, who built the needed relationships to have CTHS Ontario maintain their presence at Woodbine in support of providing the Sales twice a year. Peter and the various members of the Board elected throughout the past 23 years have not had it easy. When Ontario Racing was formed and funding was taken from the CTHS Ontario Division, when the Sales Pavilion was no longer the home of the CTHS Office / CTHS National offices, it was Peter who led the discussions with Woodbine to continue their operations and provide a venue to host the annual Sales. “During this critical and transformative period as President, I am proud of the many achievements for Ontario Breeders that the Board has been able to achieve.”
