Kitchener News was a printer active in Waterloo, ON.

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.

Alkis Klonaridis, art dealer, was born in Greece in 1943 and emigrated to Canada in 1962. He attended the University of Toronto where he met David Mirvish. In 1964 Klonardis went to work at the David Mirvish Gallery in Markham Village, Toronto. He became director of the gallery in 1975 and when the gallery closed in 1978, Klonardis opened his own gallery, Klonardis Inc., where he showed Canadian and American abstractionists. Ill health forced Mr. Klonardis to close his gallery in 1992 and he died in 1993.

Alfred Brooker Klugh, academic and amateur photographer, (born at South Hampstead, London, England, 6 May 1882; died at Kingston, Ontario, 1 June 1932) came to Canada with his parents in 1896. After a session at the Ontario Agricutural College in Guelph, Klugh studied botany and zoology at Queen's University, Kingston, graduating in 1910 with his Master of Arts degree. From then until his death he was associated with the university in one of several teaching capacities. He obtained his Ph.D. in zoology from Cornell University in 1926, and was made an associate professor in 1930. He was killed in a train-automobile collision only two years later.

As early as March, 1900, when he was only 17, Klugh helped found the Wellington Field Naturalists Club. Shortly thereafter he became a charter member of the Great Lakes Ornithological Club. While at Queen's he founded or organized several other naturalist clubs. He also wrote widely aabout many nature subjects in both Canadian and foreign magazines.

Klugh was president of the Queen's Camera Club during the teens, and wrote articles on nature photography for the American Annual of Photography in 1916 and 1917. His major contribution to photography was, however, in the "Nature and Wildlife" column which he wrote monthly for the American Photographer from March 1924 until June 1932: several pages of editorial material on a wide variety of subjects, concerned with photographing wildlife or nature in general, and offering considerable technical guidance. Each article carried several photographs - often his own - which looked out of place beside the pictorial work found in the rest of the magazine. He tried hand-colouring prints, and by the mid-1920s, he was experimenting with colour photography, probably transparencies.

Alfred Klugh was the only Canadian amateur whose work was regularly published in any photographic magazine, American or British. His column was evidence that an audience existed which sought an outlet in accurate scientific photography, rather than in pictorialism.
