Dr. Winston LaRose is the Executive Director of the Jane- Finch Concerned Citizens Organization (JFCCO) and has worked in this capacity with the Organization, since January of 1999. He worked as a Registered Nurse in Canada from 1964 until retirement at age 65 in 2002. Most of his professional work has been as a psychotherapeutic counsellor in the mental health field at the Clarke Institute in Toronto and several other mental health Facilities in Toronto, Burlington and Hamilton. In addition to this, he operated a counselling service called “the Fairview Counselling Services” in Burlington Ontario for approximately five years.
81-year-old Winston LaRose, whose run for Toronto city council is profiled in CBC Docs POV’s Mr. Jane and Finch, was born in Guyana and travelled the world before settling in Canada in the 1960s. Along the way, he’s always had a camera by his side. “Part of what I wanted to do was capture the pains and the joys and the glory of people of African descent,” says LaRose.
He’s recorded several thousand hours of footage, some 50 years old, at pivotal events such as the Million Man March. He’s also documented the lives of some of his community of activist peers, including Dudley Laws and Charles Roach. “I’m literally the person who knows the history,” says LaRose, whose passion for storytelling comes from his Guyanese roots.
