What an amazing morning at IRONKIDS! 💙🏃♀️🏃♂️
We honestly think this may have been the biggest IRONKIDS event we’ve ever seen! It was incredible to watch so many children take on the course with determination, excitement, and huge smiles, while being cheered on by their families and friends. Seeing so many young people embracing an active, healthy lifestyle is something truly special.
There were smiles, laughter, a few tears of joy, and even a few tears of exhaustion—but every single child who started the race crossed that finish line, and that’s something to celebrate! We are so proud of every one of these amazing young athletes.
A huge thank you to IRONMAN 70.3 Muskoka for inviting the Kiwanis Club of Huntsville Muskoka to be part of this wonderful event once again. Thank you to Egg Farmers of Ontario (Get Cracking!) for the fantastic goodie bags, Bullock’s Your Independent Grocer for the much-appreciated Freezies, and to all of our sponsors, supporters, and volunteers. Events like this simply wouldn’t be possible without your generosity and dedication.
Most of all, thank you to the families who brought their children out to participate and make IRONKIDS such a memorable event. We loved cheering every one of you across the finish line, and we can’t wait to do it all again next year! ❤️🏅

Thank you to James Bowler of Cogeco YourTV for drawing our June winners for the 2026 Super Grocery Calendar Draw. All winners have now been contacted, so Congratulations to all!
At our recent member meeting, we had the pleasure of presenting President Rick Brooks with his Legion of Honour award and pin. His 35 years of service spans 4 decades and so many special projects. An incredible man and a wealth of knowledge to share with his junior members.
We also had the privilege of having James Bowler, YourTV/Cogeco come to speak to us about the future of journalism. James also spoke of another topic near and dear to his heart…as Executive Director James enlightened us on the merits of Mind-Aid Muskoka and how their services are a much needed commodity throughout Muskoka. We suggest other groups reach out to James and have their members get educated. Let’s spread the word and help show how valuable this service is.
James also drew our June Super Grocery Calendar winners. Once we contact everyone, we’ll post the winners.

Our Treasurer and Distinguished Lieutenant Governor, Martin Mann, along with his wife Sharon, who is also a valued member of our club, recently travelled more than 3,200 kilometres to participate in an inter-club visit with Martin’s former club in Wisconsin.
The Kiwanis Club of Marshfield, Wisconsin, has been proudly serving children and supporting its community for 72 years. Congratulations on this remarkable milestone, and thank you for your continued dedication to making a difference in the lives of young people.
Inter-club visits provide valuable opportunities to share ideas, strengthen connections, and learn from one another. We appreciate the warm fellowship and look forward to continuing the Kiwanis tradition of service together.

We were finally able to welcome C’est Cheese Huntsville as our newest Corporate Member!! Danielle Goulet was present to accept her pin, certificate and have a few laughs. Danielle is another one of the Goulet sisters, and daughter to Brenda Wainman Goulet. Each year Kiwanis honours Brenda’s memory by presenting a scholarship in her name to a Huntsville High School graduate entering into the arts program. Danielle, we look forward to hearing more of your wonderful ideas of how we can improve the lives of the children of Muskoka.
Some time when you’re out near the Summit Centre, stop by C’est Cheese and see what kind of wonderful goodies they have!!

This is not a new program, but new to us; and one we feel we are now able as a community to actively support in this somewhat post-covid world.
How it works is simple...
