More About Jack DeGruchy:
Jack was born in Regina Saskatchewan (Canada) in 1947 and graduated from the University of Alberta in 1971 as a DDS fulfilling his dream of becoming a dentist. Shortly thereafter he moved with his wife and three children to Kelowna BC to begin his dental practice.
He partnered with a fellow and built J&J Dental in the Capri Centre. With the desire to expand he built Kelowna Dental Centre where he grew a multidisciplinary dental practice for many years, while also becoming the zone CDE representative for the Okanagan, and National Director for the AGD for six years.
Jack then moved on to build Westside Dental Centre where he decided to retire from dentistry and focus on 3D CBCT imaging and built CDI (Canadian Digital Imaging) where he remains focused on the future of digital imaging, printing, and its role in healthcare.
He is a member of the Rotary Club, Kelowna Chamber of Commerce, Do Some Good, and CEO of Hour4Our. His passion has led him to become involved in many local fundraisers and he loves to volunteer his time to community events and serves as board trustee at St. Paul’s United Church.
Jack is driven by the love of family, concern for the environment, and helping young people succeed and credits his grandmother “Ruby Gillis” as being the person who had the most influence in his life. Jack takes great pride in the fact that his father “Jack Raymond DeGruchy” and grandfather “John Graham Lindsay McGregor White” served in the Canadian Forces and fought for this great country in WW1 and WW2. He realizes the great sacrifices his mother “Peggy” made for him to become the person he is today.
Jack has always been a creative visionary and co-founded BioScan, a preventive medicine company to assess the physical, emotional nutritional health of clients and advise them how to improve and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Out of this he created Conexus, which combined 2D and 3D to enhance the visual presentation of projects for people in healthcare, aviation, manufacturing, real estate, and environmental sectors to better communicate with their clients.
These dreams and visions of a better world moved Jack to create his current foundation called Hour4Our. His hope and dream is that everyone on earth would donate one hour of their wage (as a guide) in honor of someone special in their lives in order to create a greener, cleaner, healthier and more peaceful world to live in. Because the position of Rotarians is worldwide the funds will be distributed easily and efficiently to aid in the world wide efforts for safety, peace, hope and love for all humanity and species alike.
Jack believes that it is within us all to honor someone in our past and give back to society to keep this world beautiful and enrich the lives of future generations.
