Administrative history

Meetings were held to organize the Kiwanis Club in Kingston in December, 1920. The service club was chartered 22 January, 1921 as the eighth Kiwanis Club in Canada. The objectives of Kiwanis Clubs are: to give primacy to the human and spiritual, rather than to the material values of life; to encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships; to promote the adoption and the application of higher social, business, and professional standards; to develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive, and serviceable citizenship; to provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service, and to build better communities; and to cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism which make possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and good will.
Since its founding, the Kiwanis Club of Kingston has undertaken many projects for the community, including the creation of the RKY Camp in partnership with the Kingston Rotary Club and YMCA in 1924, door-to-door mobile X-ray screening for tuberculosis in 1946, the reconstruction of Lake Ontario Park in 1947, and funding for rehabilitation equipment for Kingston General Hospital and Providence Continuing Care. The Club also re-established the Kiwanis Music Festival in 1973, and has held local Sports Awards Banquets to honour young amateur athletes.
