The Kinsmen Club of the Yukon

Club Info - Club History

The Kinsmen Club of the Yukon was founded by Kin Roch Shannon Fraser in the early months of 1995. Kin Roch was a past member of the Kinsmen Club of Abbotsford. Since there was no Kinsmen Club in the Yukon to join, Roch thought it would be a good idea to Charter a new club in the Association for the first time "North of 60".

The Kinsmen Club of the Yukon was Chartered by the Kinsmen Club of Abbostford in September, 1995 with 40 Charter Members.

The Kinsmen Club of the Yukon sought after and won the bid to host the 2000 National Convention only 16 months after Chartering.

The Kinette Club of Whitehorse was chartered by the Kinsmen Club of the Yukon in February, 1997.

The Kinsmen Club of the Yukon Hosted the National Convention in August 2000.
