Kate hit the ground running with the creation of KMG Events over 15 years ago. With over 25 years extensive experience in the marketing and event industry, working with international brands such as Molson, Coca-Cola and Mead Johnson, Kate has been instrumental in providing direction and consulting services for local, regional and national initiatives with a proven track record of exceeding client expectations.

 After growing up in Ontario,and living in Calgary, and Vancouver, she saw a need from charitable, non-profit, and corporate groups that required strategic consulting for their community events and fundraising campaigns. To this day, the level of expertise and strategic thinking offered by Kate and the KMG team is not offered by anyone else in the city.

Kate is seemingly always working, and has the ability to multi-task like no other. Even after a surgery that made her a ‘bionic woman’, Kate choose to commandeer a ride-on scooter, rather than rest and recover as she had been ordered.

This country girl cannot keep still, from her origins in the Ontario countryside climbing trees and coming up with games, she has done everything from teaching gymnastics and old school group fitness classes, to public performances of 90s hip hop, and she can still make a game out of almost anything!

Kate is an outdoorsy type, who loves campfires, trees, the mountains, and taking her very large Newfoundland Ollie on walks in the river valley, where he is often mistaken for a bear. She is a mother to two brilliant adult-ish daughters, and wife to handy husband Bob.

From events in Edmonton to tropical vacations in Huatulco, Kate makes friends everywhere she goes. She loves people, good conversation, and strategizing. KMG was born out of her passion for the causes we support, having been touched in many ways by cancer. Kate is always looking for ways to give back to the fundraising community, which led her to create the FUNDamentals workshop series.
