Celebrate with the Community Foundation for Kingston & Area on Friday, January 26 at a Special Speaker Series Luncheon for the inauguration of the Community Builder Award.

Our first recipient is Brigadier General (retired) Bill Richard

Bill has had an impressive impact on many community organizations in Kingston and area. During his term as Base Commander, he was able to unite the military and the local community. Later, he joined the City Strategic Planning group, Focus Kingston; the KGH Board; and became Chair of Imagine Kingston. Bill is passionate about the health of veterans, soldiers, and their families and was the co-founder of the Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research at Queen’s University.

BGen (Retired) Richard’s volunteer roles improve and enhance the quality of life in our community.
