About Mac Graham

I was raised in Strathroy, Ontario and eventually settled here in Kitchener with my Wife Popy in 2007. I had some short stints living in different places around Canada including London, Ottawa, Toronto, Jasper (Alberta) and even over the pond in Paris (France) but Kitchener is where we decided to call home and raise our family. We are proud of our two sons, Bryan (17) and Aaron (14). They both are students at St. David’s Secondary School in Waterloo.

I obtained my bachelor’s degree from the University of Western Ontario, King College. I also studied at Universite de Paris La Sorbonne and am a Life Licensed Qualified Professional. I am fluent in both official languages and also practising to become more fluent in Spanish and Greek.

As the Owner/Advisor of Klyne Financial for the last 10 years, I teach my clients about the five fundamentals of retirement planning. From there, I help them build achievable plans that enable them to have an enjoyable retirement with the security they desire, and all at tax efficiently as possible.

Outside of my day-to-day business I am also a very active member of the community. I am the current Vice President of the Kitchener Westmount Rotary Club and the voice of their Catch the Ace KW charity Lottery campaign. During the COVID-19 lockdown, myself and my fellow Rotarians Karin Voisin, John Thompson and Klara Serjani founded the KW Cares Movement. We organized lunches for the nursing staff at St. Mary’s and A.R Goudies Long Term Care, donated Cause Boxes to the staff at Trinity Village and ran the KW Cares Caravan (a group of 50 + cars that drove to all the long term care facilities in Waterloo region to raise morale for the nursing staff). see video

I am also a member of the Kitchener Knights of Columbus. I currently sit as the Events Planning Committee Chair, and am the Founder of their KW Trivia challenge. This event has raised over $50,000 for local charities like Marillac Place, Hospice of Waterloo Region and Tiny Home Takeout. During the Christmas season I organize sales of handmade nativity scenes for the Knights at the Christkindl Market.

In the spring I spearhead the Great Spring Clean Up where we collect electronic waste, scrap metal, used clothing and arrange document shredding for people in the Region. I also really enjoy helping in the kitchen on wing nights and spaghetti dinners. I dutifully hold the position of treasurer for the Knights Corporate Board of Directors.
