The Glasgow prop has played three times at Twickenham for Oxford University and the prospect of taking on the world champions at HQ is all the inspiration this proud and passionate Canadian needs.
"If we beat England, they can keep their money - I would have my memories," Kevin told Sporting Life.
"Twickenham is a fantastic place to play rugby. It is the opportunity to play against the world champions that is so special.
Nevertheless, the chances of Custom House having to part with their money are slim, with bookmakers Ladbrokes giving Canada a 55-point head start.
Kevin, a masters history graduate, is determined to compete but he is acutely aware how far the gap has widened between poverty-stricken Canada and England, who this week announced annual profits of £13.5million.
On their last visit to Twickenham, on the eve of the 1999 World Cup, Canada gave England a rough ride featuring such home-grown luminaries as Al Charron, Rod Snow, Dan Baugh and fly-half Gareth Rees.
Five years on, while Italy have developed through their participation in the Six Nations, Canada have had to battle against financial and geographic hurdles to formulate some semblance of a competitive team.
The politics of professional rugby have forced head coach Ric Suggitt to rest the likes of Snow, the Newport prop, and Saracens scrum-half Morgan Williams but the one thing which survives from the days of Charron and Rees is a breast-beating pride.
"The way things are set up now its next to impossible to make that step. The gaps have grown but we as a Canadian team try not to dwell on that. We understand and cope with it," said Kevin.
"I could whine on about two tiers of rugby and all that but we don't buy into that.
"As a Canadian XV when we take the field on Saturday we are there to win. There are 22 Canadian guys wearing that Maple Leaf that are just as proud as they ever were, 10 years ago, 20 years ago.
"We have a belief structure that whenever we do anything, whether it is on the rugby field or in the meeting room, that that is where we start from the next day so we are always getting better."
It is the only attitude Canada could realistically adopt. Should they reflect on the negatives of a 51-6 defeat to Italy last weekend - a side they almost beat in the World Cup a year ago - they might all just give up the ghost.
"The last three weeks I played against Northampton, Toulouse and Italy, and there is not that much difference in levels so I came into it being able to play at that pace.
"The guys playing at home had to adjust. And this weekend will be a step higher again and we will all have to adjust.
"Playing for Glasgow allows me to play against international players week in and week out. I have been there and coped with the pressure before," he said.
"I have experience playing in big matches. This weekend will be immensely tough for the young boys.
"I have run out at Twickenham three times in front of 50,000 people in the Varsity match. The first time was an absolute blur. That is going to be a factor this weekend.
"We have to make sure the boys are ready for it and soak up the environment and enjoy it rather than feel intimidated by it."
