Thank you for finding us on the web.

In 2020 Kiwanis will celebrate 46 years of being a service club in North Bay.

Programs such as the Music Festival, Citizen of the Year, Walk of Fame and the Summer Triathlon have all become events that both Kiwanis and community members look forward to participating in each year.

If you would like to get involved in your community, please join us for lunch any Thursday noon at Cecil's.
