The club opened many more volunteer opportunities in which Ron became involved. He spent four years on the foundations for the Brantford General Hospital and as an advisory for City Council.

Together the Birketts are active at their local church, Saint James Anglican Church, and have been for the majority of their lives. You may find Ron completing services when the Priest isn’t available.

The couple’s hope for the future is to continue giving back in ways they can but gradually scale back a bit.

“We’ll still be involved but we are going to have to cut back a little bit in certain places,” said Ron Birkett. “But I’ve found that is not an easy thing to do.”

The love they share for the community of Brantford is something to recognize and share.

“If I can speak for both of us; you live in a community, you grow on a community as a family, and you try to give back as best you can”.
