Founders Night: Celebrating the Roots of Kin Canada
Each year, the POW City Kinsmen host Founders Night—a heartfelt evening of celebration, tradition, and connection. This special gathering honours the legacy of Kin Canada’s founding and brings together members of the Kin family, including fellow Kinsmen and local cadets, for an evening of camaraderie and reflection.
Honouring the Past, Inspiring the Future
Founders Night takes place at Sutherland Hall, where guests gather to celebrate the birth of Kin Canada and the powerful impact the organization continues to have across the country. The evening typically includes speeches, presentations, shared meals, and meaningful conversations about what it means to serve.
It’s a chance to look back at Kin Canada’s humble beginnings, acknowledge the tireless work of local clubs, and recognize the next generation of community leaders—including cadets and new Kin members—who carry the torch forward.
A Tradition Rooted in Service
While Founders Night isn’t a fundraiser in the traditional sense, it plays a vital role in reinforcing the values that make the POW City Kinsmen so effective in their mission. It strengthens bonds within the Kin family, builds intergenerational connection, and reminds everyone of why this work matters.
