The new Hospital:
In March 2025 we raised over $1 million for a new hospital to advance healthcare in the Waterloo Region with a highly visible gala dinner that was jointly organized by the Waterloo Regional Kiwanis and Rotary clubs. The evening featured the Right Honourable Mr. David Johnson as guest speaker and showcased musical performances by local groups.
K-W Kiwanis Kids Day:
Many thanks to the Sponsors of our 2024 Kiwanis Kids Day which was a huge success: All Clear Environmental, Stacey Muirhead Capital Management, Sorbara Law Firm, Blue Skies Bookkeeping, Costco, and the City of Kitchener. Thank you Mike Farwell for promoting this event in 2024 and 2025 on the Mike Farwell Show, City News 570. Kids’ Day was so successful last year that the city of Kitchener just turned over the park to us to organize it again on August 2, 2025 (see below) and Forbes GM agreed to provide major sponsorship. For the usual park admission, get free musical entertainment by Erick Traplin, drumming circle, bouncy castle, popcorn, freezies, face painting and backyard games in addition to the usual swimming ! Bring your family and we’ll see that you are well entertained while building the spirit of your community !!
“Coats for Kiwanis” Sale:
Finally, thank you Staples for sponsoring our 2024 blowout winter coat sale and Forbes Motors GM for starting off our 2025 season with a very generous donation. On October 4, 2025 we shall again hold our fabulous coat sale upstairs right in the Kitchener Market. Over 200 nearly-new coats (some are new !) will be available for sale for just a few dollars to support our community programs ! Get a quality winter coat before the snow flies for as little as $5 and help us put a smile on our community.
