The Kinsmen Club of Winnipeg has been serving the Community's Greatest Need since 1924.We raise money in our community with many projects, such as Kinsmen Jackpot Bingo, Kinsmen Kar Award, and Calendars for Kids.The money we raise has been used to start many projects over the years, like the Kinsmen Reh-Fit Centre, the Kinsmen Discovery Centre at the Assiniboine Zoo, Winnipeg Harvest, Operation Go Home (Winnipeg), Easter Seals Manitoba, and the Red River Exhibition (Formerly the Kin Karnival).Our members also regularly volunteer with and donate to organizations such as Special Olympics Manitoba, Agape Table Soup Kitchen, Habitat for Humanity, and the MS Society, to name a few. Of course, nearly every Kinsmen and Kinette Club participates in fundraising for the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, which happens to be Kin Canada's Official National Service Project.
The Manitoba Métis Federation provides comprehensive support services to Métis communities, including citizenship programs, affordable housing, employment training, health and wellness initiatives, and cultural preservation through programs like early learning and heritage projects. It serves as the national government for the Red River Métis, offering resources and advocacy for self-governance and community development across Manitoba and beyond.
