Our Story

Since 1920, Kinsmen, Kinette and Kin clubs have offered community-minded people like you the opportunity to make your town or city a better place to live. Kinsmen and Kinettes play a vital role in Canadian society by raising funds for worthy causes, undertaking community projects and providing leadership, training and networking opportunities for our members.

Through a variety of service projects organized by our clubs, Kin Canada has helped thousands of people in need. Kin members can proudly say they have contributed more than $1 billion to Canadian communities, including nearly $40 million for cystic fibrosis research. Kinsmen and Kinettes have raised hundreds of millions of dollars for parks, playgrounds and community facilities.

By joining your local club, you will support the efforts of your Kin neighbours who are working together to better your community. We’re sure you will enjoy belonging to a diverse and spirited group. While having fun and working with others, you will also enjoy personal development and create life-long friendships that extend far beyond your own club.

This is your personal invitation to volunteer alongside others in your community who are already making a difference.
