Darcy Hermary, CFP®, CLU
I grew up on a horse farm and lived in Alberta until attending the University of Western Ontario. My wife, Helen, and I now live in Caledon with our twin son and daughter. I enjoy many things in life including: humour; reading; music; food; photography; skiing; cycling; hiking; and coaching my son’s baseball team. I have a strong interest in environmental issues and social responsibility.
I began my career in financial services in 1991 and have worked to achieve designations such as: Certified Financial Planner (CFP) and Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU). I enjoy talking with members about responsible investing and charitable giving. I am able to put members at ease and bring simplicity to our conversations, especially when discussing the sometimes complex world of investments and financial planning.

I love my job! I started my career at Kindred in 2006 after graduating from the University of Manitoba. I have filled various roles and gained extensive knowledge in many areas of financial services. I value the opportunity to meet members, build long-term relationships, and work together with other staff to assist members in making knowledgeable and informed decisions about their investments and future savings. I’m motivated in my work, knowing that members place their trust in me and have given me the opportunity to share my knowledge with them as I participate in planning for their future. I always follow up with members to make sure they receive excellent service!
