It’s that time of the year…. Time for the Kiwanis / Staples Back to School Program. Any donations help us to ensure a child has the correct tools to start the school year off successfully. The Kiwanis Club of Huntsville Muskoka partners with both Staples stores - Huntsville and Bracebridge. Let’s do what we can to make sure our kids have a great start to the next school year.
This is not a new program, but new to us; and one we feel we are now able as a community to actively support in this somewhat post-covid world.
How it works is simple...
Such a great day!! So glad Mother Nature held off and our young ones got a good day to show their stuff.
Thank you to organizers, volunteers and participants. Hope to see you all next year!
It's Here!! The moment you've all been waiting for....
And new for 2024... online ticket sales.... https://huntsvillekiwanis.ca/page/dinner-for-two-2024

2024 Kids’ Bike Rodeo
Great to see many parents, grandparents and caregivers come out with the young ones to ensure they understand safety and road rules while they are out on their bicycles this year. There were many returning families from last year, too. Great job by all organizations! The Town of Huntsville, the SportLab, O.P.P. Huntsville, Rotary Club of North Muskoka and the Kiwanis Club of Huntsville Muskoka.
Another amazing collection of pop tabs to be donated for the Robert Hampson Tabs for Kids Fund at Easter Seals Ontario to raise funds for wheelchairs.
The tabs are converted to $$ and then turned into Wheelchairs and other adaptive equipment purchased for children. Easter Seals Ontario administers the fund and purchases the equipment. http://www.easterseals.org/
We are encouraging our members and the community to save their tabs. You can contact Past President Shirley Bullock (705-789-7793) to arrange for a drop off. Thank you for your continued support!

So happy to have coordinated this event again for Spring 2024! Service Clubs in the local Huntsville area donate funds to the much needed food programs in the local schools. Initial photos from our Club are below.... stay tuned for more from the other service clubs soon.
Huge thank you to all participants that came out on Saturday morning for the 5th annual Kiwanis Sap Run for Kids. Obviously the kids had a great time before, during and after the race. Check out the smiles below! Looking forward to seeing them all next year!
Thanks to UFC athlete Kyle Nelson for leading the first race!
