Branch Meetings & Events

Kingston Branch holds five meetings per year, in January, March, June, September, and November. Meetings are held on the third or fourth Saturday of the month at St. Paul's Anglican Church (corner of Queen & Montreal Streets in downtown Kingston, Ontario). Some parking is available in a small lot adjoining the church. The Springer Municipal Parking Lot is across Queen Street from the church.

Visitors are always welcome.

The following is a list of Kingston Branch annual events:

	Early May: We mount a display table at the Regional Historica Fair where we present three $25.00 cheques and three books to students and invite them to either raise a Loyalist flag or bring their projects to our meetings. The 2009 Kingston Historica Fair was held May 7-8 at McArthur Hall (Queen's University Faculty of Education), corner of Union Street and Sir John A. Macdonald Boulevard. Over 290 students displayed their entries, and members of Kingston Branch were there to speak about Loyalists with all the students, teachers and parents who passed through.		At least two students selected our own Branch member John Matheson as the subject of their project, for his role as Father of the Canadian Flag. The gold medal for Grade 4-5 students went to Pierre Gilroy for his project on John. The project shown below was submitted by another student, the young lady shown with John in the centre photo.
		Barbara Carson and Philip Smart took their turn on the Friday morning.
	June 12: We raise the Loyalist flag across from City Hall each year in commemoration of  Loyalist Day in Kingston.
	June 14: Annual Loyalist memorial service at St. Albans Church, Adolphustown, Ontario, at 2 p.m. Dominion President Fred Hayward will be the Speaker.
	June 21: As close as possible to June 19th, we present a Loyalist flag to a different location each year for permanent display, in commemoration of Loyalist Day in Ontario. In 2009 we presented a flag to St. Paul's Anglican Church in Kingston. on Sunday, June 21st at the 10:30 a.m. service.		President Lin Good presents the Loyalist flag to Rev.
