Kinsmen Club of Nanaimo is a volunteer-driven organization that impacts Canadian communities through service, leadership, fellowship, and personal development.
The Kinsmen Club of Nanaimo is very grateful to support the campaign to promote the book “The Tale of Strong Roots – From Ukrainian Baba with Love.” This story aligns with our Kin Canada values of Excellence, Pride, Integrity, Inclusiveness, Compassion.
The book highlights the challenges of moving from your home to another country and having to learn to adapt to all the associated changes. Knowing that what you hold deep in your heart from your history is valued and accepted in Canada opens doors for great new beginnings.
Maintaining cultural pride is critical to the success of all newcomers as this keeps them rooted in their important traditions and educates us in those traditions.
Showing inclusiveness and respect in our interactions demonstrates they are valued members of the community, and we hope our compassion as they navigate everything new shows the integrity of our organization and allows them to be proud of what they have accomplished.
