The Kinsmen are a Dynamic Volunteer Organization Enriching our Communities through Service while Embracing National Pride, Positive Values, Personal Development and Lasting Friendships.
The Kinsmen Club of Calgary recently completed another task to assist seniors. The Club partners with the Calgary Seniors' Resource Society, whose volunteer program identifies seniors in need of assistance.
We have completed several work parties since 2016, clearing up overgrown yards for seniors. The objective of the volunteer program is to allow seniors to stay longer in their own homes. The Club has also made donations to the Society to support the various programs that it provides for Calgary seniors.

Just prior to last years Stampede The Calgary Round Up Band knew their old truck was on its last legs. The logistics of moving instruments, equipment and 12-15 year old performers from practice to performance is a major achievement in itself. Nursing an aging truck through another year would be crazy.
The Band which was started in 1956 by The Calgary Police Service has become one of the finest bands of it's kind in Canada and has entertained millions of people all over the world. Barry Hensch President of the Calgary Round Up Band association didn't Mark Time but marched straight to his Kinsmen friends for help.
The Kinsmen were certanly sympathetic, coordinating hundreds of volunteers has been the hallmark of the Calgary club for the last 90 years. A special vote was set-up and the Calgary club said yes to the 2015 capital request. These funds come through the sale of tickets on the Kinsmen
Wheels prizes at The Calgary Stampede Lotteries. Both the Kinsmen and The Round Up Band would like to thank the Kinsmen wheels volunteers for their hard work in raising this money to make thier truck dreams come true.
