Director at large, supporting the Nuts and Cakes Campaign and providing general tech support for some of our gatherings.

I have been married to Lynn for over 50 years and we have raised two great kids, Ryan and Delaney, who have become adults of whom we are both proud. My parents modeled service in the community and to the family. In the early 1980s I co-founded an anti-nuke group, West Islanders for Nuclear Disarmament (WIND).

I first learned about Kiwanis as the youngest of 7 children during some very challenging financial times for my parents. For several years we would receive these gigantic Christmas boxes from someone called Kiwanis. Receiving food and special gifts from these strangers was truly magical and impacted…

I was first introduced to the Kiwanis Club of Lakeshore Montreal in 2009. At that time, one of our Board Members, Velda Bourne, had approached the Club’s Board about our organization and we have been receiving funds from that time on. Though AWISH did not actively serve children, we did indirectly by taking care of their parents who were suffering from any of the 100 forms of arthritis and chronic pain.

Since 2010, I, as President of AWISH in a volunteer position, accepted to…

I initially joined Kiwanis in the mid-80s and was elected to the board. Later due to job requirements, I moved away to Nunavut where I worked for the Government of Canada, as a regional manager-Informatics, and for the Government of Nunavut as a Justice of the Peace for 15 years.

I was born in a philanthropic family where helping others is a thing to do; hence Kiwanis fits the bill. As a Kiwanian I was involved in a few projects in the past; notably, the educational kitchen at then PSBGM school board (Lakeside Academy now), which is still in operation, as well as housing for unwed mothers and...

I joined Kiwanis out of my passion for giving back to the community and for collaborating with friends who share the same passion. My family has been very involved in the Saint-Lambert Community, both in sports and volunteerism, for over 50 years. With my daughters Melanie and Stephanie, we proudly carry on the Annual Kurtz Toy Drive which in 24 years has distributed over 110,000 toys and games to children and families …

Chair of Holiday Nuts & Cakes Campaign

I have always loved helping kids and when I was invited to a Kiwanis luncheon, I saw an opportunity to do even more for kids through Kiwanis.

I joined this club in 1997 and 7 and have never looked back. As the saying goes “time flies when you’re having fun”…

Member 2019–2021 (as Secretary), returning 2026

For over 60 years I have been an activist and an advocate for the less fortunate, both in my paid positions and in my volunteer work. My consumer advocacy at Ville Marie Social Services-CCC opened the door to broadcasting, with CJAD, CFCF, and a weekly contribution to CBC's “Home Run”.

Before COVID-19, Andy Sarrasin asked me to meet with him and Christian Aubert to talk about Kiwanis. What stayed with me was learning that every cent raised…
