About Us

The Eastern Canada and the Caribbean District is one of 47 Districts and the largest geographic district of Kiwanis International. Presently, it comprises 29 Divisions, 285 clubs and 9,000 members serving the communities in Eastern Canada and the following Caribbean Countries: Bahamas, Jamaica, Netherlands Antilles, Aruba, Trinidad, Martinique, Barbados, Guadeloupe, Suriname, French Guiana, St Lucia, Dominica, Antigua and Guyana. Currently, we have 285 Clubs (35 of which are French speaking) - 114 in Ontario, 28 in Quebec, 33 in Atlantic Canada, 110 in the Caribbean. Our team is symbolized by the Canadian flag linked to the sun of the Caribbean surmounted by the Kiwanis International logo.

The heart and strength of Kiwanis are our members and our local Kiwanis Clubs. Each Kiwanis club is comprised of individuals from a wide range of occupations representing the active forces and spirit of its own local community. Our Kiwanis family works together to serving the children of the world.

We focus on developing community-minded school students from public school though high school to university. An associated, Aktion Club program focuses on working with adults living with a disability.

We believe that "One Can Make A Difference" at building better communities throughout Eastern Canada and the Caribbean.
