The Kinsmen Club of Winnipeg
The Kinsmen Club of Winnipeg has been serving the Community's Greatest Need since
1924.
We raise money in our community with many projects, such as Kinsmen
Jackpot Bingo, Kinsmen Kar Award, and
Calendars for Kids.
The money we raise has been used to start many projects over the years, like the
Kinsmen Reh-Fit Centre, the
Kinsmen Discovery Centre
at the Assiniboine Zoo, Winnipeg
Harvest, Operation Go Home (Winnipeg),
Easter Seals Manitoba,
and the Red River Exhibition
(Formerly the Kin Karnival).
Our members also regularly volunteer with and donate to organizations such as
Special Olympics Manitoba,
Agape Table Soup Kitchen,
Habitat for Humanity, and
the MS Society, to name
a few. Of course, nearly every Kinsmen and Kinette Club participates in fundraising
for the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis
Foundation, which happens to be Kin Canada's Official National Service Project.
If you are interested in Joining
Us, you can fill out our Membership
Information Request to find out more. We hold our meetings
bi-weekly on Monday Nights at 7:00pm at our Kin
Centre.

City Farm is a unique, urban response to a contemporary societal dilemma where our citizens, particularly young people, lack opportunities to:

* Connect with the growing and harvesting of their food nutrition and hence a rural farm experience, and
* Participate in community democracy and transformation
City Farm works to provide a range of farmed based activity opportunities to meet these societal shortcomings in support of both individual and community development – on a daily basis. Success in other jurisdictions such as Europe and Scandinavia, have ensured widespread support of these initiatives with significant user visits and associated outcomes.
Cityfarm has undertaken a substantial review of City Farm conceptual underpinnings and logistical requirements to provide a sustainable, urban City Farm initiative. Putting those learnings into practice we now have three successful seasons of operation under our belts. Our organization is pleased to support the provision of a City Farm experience in Winnipeg through Cityfarm Day Winnipeg.
As envisioned, Cityfarm Day Winnipeg will showcase core City Farm based activity offerings as a way for the local community to get a sense of the look and feel of such an initiative. As such, the event will be designed to allow the community to experience a City Farm setting similar to those found extensively throughout Europe and now in Edmonton:
* Engage in a more adventurous way, day-to-day activities that are typical of those found on the farm.
* Participant engagement in the various activities on their own terms versus being formally led through set activities. In this way leaders must be adept at animating the spaces and will be oriented accordingly.
* Transformation of the each designated space into a special ‘place’ for participants as well as an overall transformation of the ...
