Like many in our community, we were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Kim Renders on 17 July, following a short illness. A writer, director, actor and designer, Kim was a member of faculty in Queen’s University’s Dan School of Drama and Music. She was a prolific, generous and daring contributor to creative life in Kingston and beyond.

Kim lent her voice to the 2015 exhibition The Artist Herself, in a beautiful performance of Pauline Johnson’s The Song My Paddle Sings. Listen here.
