The company also constructs and rents high-rise residential buildings and commercial strip malls. According to Parker, mathematical and analytical skills are important in accounting, which he described as a "very diversified business" that is constantly changing. He referred to tax rules as a prime example. "Even though they changed (the GST), 1 don't think they'll get rid of it," he said. As well as GST returns, Parker's work involves organizing payroll and group benefits and supervising company costing. He became a certified general accountant after graduating from a five-year night school course at Fanshawe College in 1988. He began working for Z Group in 1983 and prior to that worked at accounting jobs for Richard Bennett Developments and Ellis Don after moving to London in 1965. Raised in the Hensall area, Parker graduated from South Huron District High School in 1960. His most vivid school memory was a home summer project that required raising 35 laying hens for Andy Dickson in a grade 9 agriculture class. Parker had always wanted an accounting or business career and began by working for E.L. Mickle and Son, which is now the Hensall Co-op. "Just set your goals and go for them," he advises. In his spare time Parker enjoys church activities and volunteer work with the Optimists. He lives in London with his wife, Sharon. They have a son, Christopher and daughter, Jana.
