Kinsmen Club of Winnipeg marking 100th anniversary [Video]

Kevin Turney had been aware of the Kinsmen Club of Winnipeg for most of his life, but a tragedy gave him a first-hand look at what they do, and made him want to join up.

“My nephew and godson had taken his own life from addiction,” he said. “When the Bruce Oake Centre was getting talked about, I started getting involved a little more to do with it, since it was in the area I lived in.
