The Trustees consists of representatives of the City of Hamilton, Newalta Corporation and residents in the community of Upper Stoney Creek. Trustees are those individuals responsible for the administration of the Trust.

Advertisements were placed in local newspapers requesting applications by the individuals wishing to become a Trustee. The Trustees were then selected from among those applicants who satisfied the criteria in the Trust Indenture (Established in 1997). The Trust Indenture provides that at all times no less than three trustees shall be representative of the community of Upper Stoney Creek, one trustee shall be a representative nominated by Newalta Corporation and one trustee shall be the Mayor of Hamilton or his designate.

Douglas Duke has been a proud resident of Upper Stoney Creek since 1997 when he and his wife determined that the community’s many wonderful amenities and lovely open spaces provided the ideal environment to raise a family. Over the past few years, Doug has worked as a volunteer for Stoney Creek Jr. B Warriors and enjoys his role as the team’s public address announcer for home games played at Valley Park Arena. Currently the executive officer of the Hamilton-Halton Home Builders’ Association, Doug is acutely aware of the importance of finding ways to strengthening a community for the benefit of its residents, its businesses and its various groups and organizations.

Rose and her family have been members of the Upper Stoney Creek community for nine years. Rose has come to treasure the unique location of her neighbourhood with beautiful open countryside to the south and the City of Hamilton sitting below the escarpment to the north. Beginning with the wish to learn of her new surroundings to the desire to pay it forward, Rose's contribution to community service has been diverse over the years.
