Doris was a proud Zontian, and charter President of the Zonta Club of Toronto II. When Margaret Ketchum approached Mayor True Davidson about founding a Zonta club in East York, Mayor Davidson turned to her and said "Doris, this sounds like an ideal job for you". Doris accepted and threw herself into the role, attending nearly all International Conventions, District Conferences, Workshops and Inter-city events.
She served as City Clerk to eight mayors of East York, and spent her entire working life of 46 years with the Borough of East York. This dedication did not go unrecognized. Doris received numerous awards and citations from both the province and the municipality, including a street named in her honour.
