In Halifax he attended Tower Road School, Halifax Grammar School, Gorsebrook Junior High, and Queen Elizabeth High School.

He was awarded a graduate degree in Design Studies (specialty in Urban Design) from the Harvard Graduate School of Design in 1995.[3]

An urban planner and urban designer by profession, Fillmore began his career in Boston, Massachusetts working on the Big Dig project as an urban designer, and later joined the architecture and planning firm Arrowstreet Inc. He later moved to Maine where he was the Town Planner in Cumberland, Maine, and subsequently founded the architectural design and town planning firm Interurban Planning & Design. In 2005, he returned home to Halifax, Nova Scotia to serve as the first-ever Manager of Urban Design for the City of Halifax, leading the implementation of the "HRM by Design" Downtown Halifax Plan.[4] He also served as Director of the Dalhousie University School of Planning, and was vice president, Planning & Development of the Waterfront Development Corporation Limited, a crown corporation charged with revitalizing prominent post-industrial waterfronts in Nova Scotia.
As Member of Parliament for Halifax, Fillmore has held a number of additional responsibilities in the House of Commons and in the Government of Canada. In the 42nd Canadian Parliament, Fillmore was appointed in December 2015 to the all-party Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs.[5] On February 4, 2016, he was elected as the chairman of the committee, serving in that role until January 2017.[6] Beginning in January 2017, Fillmore was appointed Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Democratic Institutions, Karina Gould.
