Ron Kessler, People’s Warden
Ron started volunteering as a youth representative at the local United Church. His early years were influenced by membership in the Tuxis Youth Parliament of Alberta, an offshoot of the United Church. Later, he joined the Anglican Church and served on Parish Councils in several churches in the Diocese before coming to SMK. At SMK, he serves as a lay administrator, member of the Parish Council and occasional handyman. He has served on the Administration and Finance committee of the Diocese, and has been a volunteer with other organizations here in Vancouver. Most recently, he served for six years as Treasurer for SMK, ending in 2023. Professionally, he was a business school faculty member at BCIT, teaching economics and business courses, overseeing several programs for international students, and, at one time, was president of the Faculty and Staff Association.
