Kim Train

For the past fifteen years, Kim Train's professional focus has been dedicated to contributing as a volunteer within Toronto CREW (Commercial Real Estate Women), an organization committed to empowering women to excel, exert influence, and take leadership roles within the commercial real estate sector.

With a proud history of serving for seven years on the Board, including her most recent role as President, she's actively engaged in diverse initiatives such as golf tournaments, educational and networking programs, fundraising, and strategic planning. 

In her professional capacity, she specializes in procuring substantial contractual services and products for commercial real estate landlords. Train's responsibilities also encompass overseeing operational excellence and managing transformative change. 

Her recent venture as a water-access cottage owner has presented a distinct set of challenges. As a newcomer to this environment, she's embarked on a journey of discovery to unravel the intricacies of accessing necessary services for our lake property. Within the board, she brings a unique perspective to represent fellow new community members. Serving on the KBLA presents her with the opportunity to participate in local events, integrate into the community, and advocate for matters pertinent to our expansive lake. She aspires to be a voice at the decision-making table, advocating not only for the lake itself but also for those who, like her, have water access.

Favourite Kahshe memory 

We are very new to the lake compared to other folks I have met. Most of my fondest memories are of entertaining my kids and their friends, and our friends and family at the lake. Being a water access cottage with no previous boating experience, learning how to dock and drive a boat has influenced me the most. The skills I've developed to dock our pontoon with windy conditions have given me a sense of independence and pride in learning a new skill.
