Regina Queen City Kinsmen Club Celebrates 100 Years

Hon. Terry Jenson: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today marks a very special anniversary for the city of Regina and for a legacy of men who decided to serve their community’s greatest need.

One hundred years ago today, Mr. Speaker, the Regina Kinsmen Club, now known as the Regina Queen City Kinsmen club, was officially founded. Over that 100 years literally hundreds of members have donated their valuable time and energy volunteering to make their city better and helping individuals and groups in their time of need.

The Kinsmen Club of Canada was founded in 1920, Mr. Speaker, and continues to be a service club focused on community service, family values, personal development, and national pride. At one time, Mr. Speaker, there were three Kinsmen clubs serving Regina, but it’s been the original Regina Queen City Kinsmen club that’s been here since the beginning, the first one in the province.

Mr. Speaker, the Kinsmen in Regina have left a legacy of community service all over the city. When the Agridome was built, it was the Queen City Kinsmen who stepped up and fundraised and paid for the upholstered seating in the lower bowl. They also helped fundraise for what is now the Girl Guide centre in Regina, and were instrumental in the establishment of two Kinsmen parks here in Regina.

Mr. Speaker, the club was chartered on April 1st, 1926 with 20 to 25 members at the first meeting, and over the years the club has had as many as 100 members or more. Today the club is made up of 21 individuals who are extremely dedicated to helping their community and the members who live in it.

On behalf of the Legislative Assembly and all residents of Regina and Saskatchewan, thank you to the Regina Queen City Kinsmen club for all you do. And happy 100th anniversary.
