Kingston Junior Chamber of Commerce

n.d.

The Jaycees is a service organization which organizes several community projects such as the Santa Claus Parade, Over the Hill Derby and the Citizen of the Year Program.It also conducts individual development projects including effective speaking, committee management, salemanship and other courses, often open to the public. The original organization meeting of the Junior Chamber of Commerce occurred in Kingston, January 20, 1945, and after discussions with the Kingston Chamber of Commerce a constitution was drawn up and adopted on February 9. In 1947 the organization received its charter from the Junior Chamber of Commerce of Canada. During its first five years, Kingston Jaycees' major interest was in civic government by sponsering "Get-Out-To-Vote" campaigns, support of municipal candidates and regular attendance of city council meetings.
