It is with profound sadness that the Ontario Racing Commission (ORC) announces that Wendy Hoogeveen passed away on Monday, August 4, 2014.
Wendy worked for the ORC for over 30 years, ultimately holding the position of Director, Industry Development & Support. Her commitment and dedication to the horse racing industry were unparalleled and we are grateful for her contributions. She was one of the most passionate supporters of horse racing in addition to being one of the most knowledgeable – she will be greatly missed by both ORC staff and industry participants.
At this time, information regarding the arrangements is not available however the ORC will share them as they become available.
