Harry R Munro, QC
Scratch the outer veneer of this polished professional and one finds the untamed heart of a circus roustabout, with a life story more worthy of a dime novel than this website résumé.
Harry Munro was born in Ross-shire, Scotland. The second son of the Highland Chief of the Clan Munro, Harry packed up his kilt and left his ancestral home at age 18 in search of his destiny in the New World. A man whose blue blood never affected his commoner's touch, Harry would rather regale us with stories of mushrooms and chainsaws than luncheons with the Queen Mother.
It was a circuitous route that landed him at Mac, Mac & Mac more than 20 years ago. Arriving first at St. Francis Xavier University, Harry graduated from his favoured alma mater with a degree in Business Administration. Breaking rank from the corporate ladder, Harry chose instead to travel the continent as a circus roustabout. Some say his subsequent advocacy skills were awakened during this period when he developed the finely honed art of story telling. Or perhaps it was the survival skills he acquired in his next challenge as a door to door salesman for life insurance. It is rumoured that all the challenges of door to door sales of that short-lived career steered him in the direction of the University of Western Ontario, where Harry returned to academia and distinguished himself with a law degree.
Following graduation, Harry Munro migrated back to New Scotland, better known as Nova Scotia. After articling with a prominent Halifax law firm, Harry, like so many Scots before him, found himself drawn to the Highland hills of Pictou and Antigonish Counties, where he claims the pride and tradition of Scottish heritage is more alive than in Scotland itself.
For almost a quarter of a century, Harry Munro has been counselling Mac, Mac & Mac clients on the legal niceties of wills, probate and estate planning. His expertise in matters of financial planning is reflected in a variety of responsibilities he has accepted, including as an outside Director of the Sobeys Inc. Pension Plan. His recent appointment as Chair of the Board of Governors of Kings-Edgehill, one of Canada's oldest and most prestigious private schools, is a further reflection of the high esteem in which his leadership skills are held by those who are themselves leaders in our Province.
Harry Munro's list of community volunteer services reflects the Mac, Mac & Mac culture of commitment to the communities we serve. He has served as Chair of the United Way, President of the New Glasgow Rotary Club, Chair of the Aberdeen Hospital Foundation, President of the Little Harbour Community Centre, President of the Festival of the Tartans Highland Games and volunteer legal advisor to a variety of community groups, including Boy Scouts, Family Services, and others.
When not leading our Wills, Estates and Trusts Group or volunteering his services to his community, Harry can be found long distance running, sailing, scuba diving, skiing or chasing porcupines from his woodlots. In all, he is a lawyer, community volunteer and committed family man who exemplifies the lifestyle choices that distinguish the lawyers of Mac, Mac & Mac.
