Memoriam
Brian Denomme was a driving force behind the beginning and growth of KW Legacy. Brian’s vision and friendship inspired like minded friends and family to invest in his dream to improve the conditions of the Waterloo Region community we were so lucky to be raised in.
His complete devotion to the work and his community and the belief that a group of friends can make a difference continue to guide our thinking as KW Legacy. Brian’s passion for service, leadership, and friendship lives on in the work of KW Legacy and in the hearts of all the members.
