“My family has deep roots and a long history in Victoria; it’s something we’re proud to continue with our firm,” says Wirk, pointing to her recent election to the Board of the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce, mentorship of local University of Victoria business students and newcomers to the community and the portfolio of local businesses, not-for-profits and provincial ministry clients the firm has supported. “Victoria has a vibrant local business ecosystem filled with purpose-driven leaders, companies and organizations making a real difference,” says Wirk. “Wirk Consulting is privileged to play a role in their unfolding stories.”
