Kevin Dunbar Memorial Scholarship Fund

He was a passionate lawyer who worked tirelessly to help others. This scholarship fund will give back to the community by supporting high school students as they pursue post-secondary education.

The annual KRRA Canada Day Limestone Mile will be an opportunity for Kevin’s family, and the Kingston and Area community to gather and remember Kevin and also as an opportunity to raise funds for the Kevin Dunbar Memorial Scholarship Fund.
