Fellow Kin,

After putting the call out for members to assist in the exploration of options for the future of the Kin Canada building, we are pleased to share that the task force team is now in place.

The goal of this group is to gather, validate, and communicate to the Kin Canada membership, all the information required to make an informed and educated decision about the future of the Kin Canada headquarters building in Cambridge, Ontario.

We are very excited to let you know that Life Member Darrell Cooper has been named Project Manager. LM Darrell has been a member of Kin Canada for 40 years, but more importantly, he brings 16+ years of experience in a relevant field of work.
