Meet Alex

Alex DeLorey is a Peterborough father of three with a career built around public service, leadership and making difficult decisions responsibly.

A graduate of Trent University, Alex was a varsity athlete before completing graduate studies at Western University.

Alex served for seventeen years as an officer in the Royal Canadian Navy. He began his career as a Naval Warfare Officer, serving in operational, training and headquarters roles across Canada. His work included maritime explosive ordnance disposal, diving operations and responsibilities within Canada’s military diving safety system.

After leaving the Canadian Armed Forces, Alex continued his public service career as a police officer.

Today, Alex is actively involved in Peterborough’s community organizations. He serves on the boards of the Kawartha-Haliburton Children's Aid Society and the 360 Degree Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic.

Alex and his wife are raising their three children in Peterborough. Their children attend local Catholic schools, giving Alex the same practical interest in strong Catholic education shared by thousands of families across the community.

His approach to public service is straightforward: listen carefully, do the homework, treat people respectfully and make decisions based on what will actually work.

Alex believes Catholic schools have a special responsibility to combine academic excellence with faith, character, service and a genuine partnership with families.
