Every Christmas and Easter the Kinsmen club of Edmonton provides meals and presents to the less fortunate adults of the inter city, Boyle McCauley Health Center, 10628-96 Street. In addition to financial support for these meals the kinsmen themselves prepare and serve the meals.

There is a great feeling of well being in knowing that you are making a small difference in someone’s life who otherwise may have gone without any recognition of the holidays if not for the actions of a few kinsmen. This project was started back in 1973 in conjunction with a request from the Operation Friendship Seniors Society to provide some funding to supplement other donations. The club saw this as a great opportunity to transform this token request into what has turned into a long term commitment to help where help is needed most.

Dream Wheels

Dream wheels is the modern version of the original Klondike Days Car Awards which was changed to Capital EX in 2006. Virtually everything is the same except for the name. Started back in 1942 as a club fundraiser for another project the concept has grown and adapted to where 300 volunteers are required over the 10 day event which generates in the area of $90,000 annually.

Back in the hay days the raffle was so popular and the attendance at Klondike Days so well attended that for a few years the raffle was for a car a day for the 10 day period. However with declining attendance and more competition amongst charities the raffle consists of the giving away of 3 vehicles.

This event takes a tremendous amount of planning , volunteers and member involvement from kinsmen, kinette and K40 clubs and we would like to extend our thanks for all of your help
