Victoria Kiwanis Turns 90
On Saturday, January 16, 2010, I attended a celebration of the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Kiwanis Club of Victoria BC, the 198th club in Kiwanis International. BC’s Lieutenant Governor, the Honourable Steven L. Point, OBC, was the keynote speaker. He is the Queen’s representative in BC, and prior to becoming a provincial court judge, he was a Kiwanis member with a legal practice in Chilliwack BC! He still has a Kiwanis heart, as he spoke of the need to address literacy challenges in remote BC communities.
Victoria-area Kiwanis clubs came to help celebrate, including several members of the University of Victoria CKI Club (which is sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Victoria). Letters of congratulations were received from me (as Governor), International Trustee Randy Delay, International President Paul Palazzolo, the Mayor, and the Prime Minister. It was a very pleasant evening for all.
