About Jim

Jim Morrison

I was born and raised in Northern Ontario, in a little mining town called Wawa. I attended St. Clair College and completed a 3-year diploma in Business Administration. While at the college, I was elected to the Student Athletic Association and was in charge of intra-mural sports and skipped the Varsity Curling Team to an OCAA Championship.

I left Windsor after graduating, but enthusiastically returned nearly 35 years ago when I accepted the opportunity of a company transfer. I has lived in Ward 10 ever since. I was a bank manager for over 39 years, most recently at National Bank of Canada.

During my career, I earned the designation of Personal Financial Planner with the Institute of Canadian Bankers, and represented my financial institutions in the community by serving on various donations committees.

I have had extensive experience and involvement with charitable organizations: I was the president of a start-up Rotary Club in Strathroy, which was the first to charter female members in Canada, I served on the Board of Directors of the Easter Seals Society and in 2018 had the privilege of taking on the role of Chairperson of the Easter Seals Telethon, and I was heavily involved in a learn-to-skate program, mostly comprised of newcomers to Canada, held at Charles Clark Square on Saturday mornings through the winter for a few years.

In 2022, I was re-elected for a second term as City Councillor and continue to work hard for the residents of Ward 10. 

I currently serve on the following Agencies, Boards and Committees:

  • Development & Heritage Standing Committee (Chair)
  • ENWIN Energy
  • Essex Region Conservation Authority (Chair)
  • Essex Windsor Solid Waste Authority
  • Windsor Canada Utilities
  • Windsor Police Service Board
  • Windsor Utilities Commission

I spent many years playing hockey, golf and curling and avidly following professional sports. I am a die-hard fan of the Detroit Lions, Toronto Maple Leafs, and the Toronto Blue Jays.

I have been married for nearly 45 years to my wife, Kathy, and together we have three grown children: Stacey, Brittany and Tom.
