Kathy started volunteering at YourTV more than 20 years ago, to host the Santa Claus Parade as her father had done. Her father had been very involved in the parade and had recently passed away. Kathy has co-hosted parades in Smiths Fall, Perth, Kemptville and Lanark for many years. In 2016, the producers at YourTV approached her about hosting FYI, a community information program. Kathy was up for the challenge. She spends much of her time working out of town, and feels that volunteering at YourTV brings her home. A life-long love of learning is incorporated into her philosophy for the program. To that end she particularly enjoys inviting school classes to the station to show them how TV can shine a big spotlight on the good things and good people in their community. Kathy has become a well-known host in her community, but she credits her hardworking crew at YourTV for keeping it fun. She also credits her father for her sense of community and giving back through involvement with YourTV.
