Kim Walker
Kim has been a CWL member for 17 years following in the footsteps of her grandmother and Mother. She has served on the CWL executive at the Parish level both in Edmonton and in Calgary holding several chair positions. She took 2 years ‘off’ following her Past President term to rejuvenate in order to better serve the League and sisterhood in a new capacity.
Kim has been a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) working with the adult population (18+) for the last 23 years in Regina, Edmonton, and Calgary. This is extremely diverse work involving a variety of swallowing and communication disorders. Often these disorders are life altering. Working as a medical SLP has given Kim a passion to advocate for those who cannot advocate for themselves.
Kim’s passion is in helping the vulnerable (ex: human trafficking), advocating for communication access, bringing awareness to food and housing insecurities, life changing medical drug access, promotion of physical health, protecting God’s creation – our environment, and more.
You will often find Kim out in nature cycling to work or in the numerous Calgary pathways gawking at Prairie chickens, Bald Eagles, and Deer. If she is not exercising, then you will find her with dirty hands in the garden. Kim also loves to cook and bake to the delight of her coworkers and husband. On colder, rainy indoor days she is often working on a puzzle, making a quilt, or working on some other craft project.
Kim is married to her high school sweetheart, Jeff, and will be celebrating her 25th wedding anniversary in June. We also cannot forget Kim’s Herbert, a 112lbs Bernese Mountain ‘lap’ Dog.
