Kirk has served in the charitable field as past president of the Hamilton chapter of the Kidney Foundation of Canada and was a key member on the founding board of Ronald McDonald House.

His reach extends to the city’s disadvantaged by offering assistance to Catholic Family Service clients as well as Hamilton General Hospital patients with legal needs.

When not in the office or volunteering, Kirk appreciates a good round of golf and generally enjoying the great outdoors.

When Kirk completed his education at Queens Law School over 40 years ago, he wanted to make a difference in the lives of people and it is evident that he has accomplished this and looks forward to continuing his work going forward.
