Kin-Canada is the parent organization for Kinsmen, Kinette and Kin Clubs across the country.

Our local Kin Club is active in the City, as local president, Shannon Johnston explains.

“This February, the Kin Club of Thompson played a huge part in Winterfest by bringing back our town’s mascot, Rudy the Raven, who had a makeover! In April, the Kin Club donated $500 to the Thompson Seniors Community Resource Council to support their new building and last year, the Kin Club spearheaded the New Shoe Donation Campaign for the Sydney Project and the Thompson Crisis Center.”  

Kin Canada also is a huge supporter of those with Cystic Fibrosis, a condition Johnston was diagnosed with at age 13 months.

Tomorrow, the Kin Club will hold a barbecue in the Canadian Tire parking lot from 11 am to 2:30 pm to raise funds for Cystic Fibrosis Canada.

Drop by and show your support.

To learn more about Kin-Canada and the impacts of Cystic Fibrosis, catch the Thompson Today interview with Johnston this afternoon at 12:40 and 5:10.
