The Kinsmen Club of Wynyard & District is part of the national Kin Canada, Association of Kinsmen and Kinettes which was founded by Hal Rogers on February 20, 1920. The local charter was established in 1973. The Kinsmen Clubs, past and present, have continually been volunteering their time and resources to follow the Kinsmen motto of “Serving the Community’s Greatest Needs”. The Wynyard Kinsmen are always looking for projects for which we can donate funds. Also, our club carries application forms to apply for funding through the Kin Foundation. The Kin Foundation is the organization that distributes the funds raised through the Telemiracle telethon. Please contact any Kinsmen member if you have a funding need.

4-h is open to all youth 6-21 years old. Our club is primarily a light horse club but we have offered archery, photography, small engines, sewing and small pet as well in the past and would again in the future if there was interest.

4-h has a motto – “Learn to do by doing” and we encourage our members to “do” by hosting riding clinics, organizing gymkhana events, attending functions like Agribition and The Mane Event in Red Deer, Alberta. We fund raise within our community and use those funds within the community.

We operate from late September to Achievement Day in Mid July . Optional events are Horse Shows in Nokomis, Invermay & Kelvington as well as the Provincial 4-h horse show traditionally held in Mid August. 4-h has many travel opportunities – members can apply for exchanges and trips to conventions to broaden their horizons. They are also eligible for many scholarships and bursaries.

The Wynyard Air Cadets is a youth program for people aged 12 – 18; administered by the Canadian Forces and funded through the Dept of National Defence.

We meet Wednesday nights Sept – May at 7:00 pm at the Wynyard Composite High School gymnasium, with our office located in the gym.

We have an active parent committee which meets the first Wednesday of each month in the school library. This committee works closely with the Officers to plan events and activities and we initiate various fund raising activties through out the year.

Senior cadets teach a variety of skills that they have learned at summer camps; such as survival, drill, flight training and ground school, as well as weekly activities like archery and flight simulator training. Through out the year cadets take part in the Remembrance Day Service, poppy drive with the Legion, public speaking events, sports weekends, Saskadet Camp, gliding, familiarization flying and various fund raising events sponsored by the parent committee.

Cadets have the opportunity to take trips and attend a variety of summer camps from general training to gliding and power scholarships. They learn valuable life and work skills like teamwork, leadership, and citizenship. Cadets also reap the personal benefits of increased self-confidence and physical fitness, learning how to take initiative, and how to make decisions.

There is no registration fee or cost to join – all we ask is a willingness to learn, cooperate and have fun.
