Meetings were held to organize the Kiwanis Club in Kingston in December, 1920. The service club was chartered 22 January, 1921 as the eighth Kiwanis Club in Canada. The objectives of Kiwanis Clubs are: to give primacy to the human and spiritual, rather than to the material values of life; to encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships; to promote the adoption and the application of higher social, business, and professional standards; to develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive, and serviceable citizenship; to provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service, and to build better communities; and to cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism which make possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and good will.
Since its founding, the Kiwanis Club of Kingston has undertaken many projects for the community, including the creation of the RKY Camp in partnership with the Kingston Rotary Club and YMCA in 1924, door-to-door mobile X-ray screening for tuberculosis in 1946, the reconstruction of Lake Ontario Park in 1947, and funding for rehabilitation equipment for Kingston General Hospital and Providence Continuing Care. The Club also re-established the Kiwanis Music Festival in 1973, and has held local Sports Awards Banquets to honour young amateur athletes.

Kenneth Porter Kirkwood was a diplomat based in Ottawa, Ontario.

The law firm was begun in Kingston by Thomas Kirkpatrick in 1828. The firm continued under various names and with various partners until 1968. Thomas Kirkpatrick's sons, George Airey and James Stafford, followed in their father's profession and the firm became known as Kirkpatrick and Sons. George Kirkpatrick later had Mr. R. Vahon Rogers as his partner. After that partnership, the Honourable W. F. Nickle was associated with Mr. Rogers. Rogers death brought about another change in partnership when James Farrell joined the firm. The firm became Nickle and Nickle when W. M. Nickle became a partner with his father W. F. Nickle. W. M. Nickle died in 1968, and his death marked the end of the law firm.

Thomas Kirkpatrick (1805-1870) came from Ireland in 1823. He settled in Kingston and became a lawyer. In 1828 he founded the law firm that eventually became Nickle and Nickle. He erected a building at 194 Ontario Street which was used for legal purposes for over 75 years. He lived alongside his business on the site of the Frontenac Hotel but later moved to the house known as St. Helen's on King Street West. He was the first Mayor of Kingston in 1838, and served a second term in 1847 when Kingston was a city. He was also a member of parliament for the County of Frontenac. In 1829, he married Helen Fisher, daughter of Alexander Fisher, judge of the Midland District, and had five sons and four daughters.
