Harold Allin Rogers, O.C., O.B.E. The people of Canada have lost an outstanding Canadian who was perhaps perhaps best known for his founding of the Association of Kinsmen Clubs. Hal Rogers started this now vast community service organization in 1920 in Hamilton, Ontario. Kinsmen and Kinetic Clubs of Canada, as it is now referred to by its members, is the largest all-Canadian Service Club, with clubs in 600 Canadian communities. Mr. Rogers died on September 15th in Toronto and was in his 96th year. Hal was bom January 3, 1899 in London, Ontario. In 1916, at the age of 17, he enlisted with Hamilton's Argylc and Sutherland Battalion and later served in France, but with the 54th Kootenay Battalion. After being gassed at Paschendalc and wounded at Amiens in August 1918, he was sent to England to recover. In January 1919, Hal returned to Canada to start what was to be a successful successful and varied business career. He founded his own publishing company company and later became Chairman of the Ontario Telephone Authority, President of the Ontario Development Development Corporation, Canadian Telephone Telephone Rentals Ltd., T.R. Services Ltd., and Beaverton Boatel. Hal Rogers started Kinsmen in 1920 in Hamilton, Ontario He was Chairman of the Forest Hill Village Board of Education from 1944 to 1951. In recognition of his outstanding contribution to secondary education in Ontario, the secondary school teachers of the province made him the first recipient of their "Lamp of Learning." During World War II, Hal Rogers chaired the Kinsmen's National War Services Committee which was responsible responsible for raising millions of dollars dollars to purchase powdered milk and parcels for shipment to Britain and providing dental facilities for the Canadian Canadian Army. After the war, Hal was macro an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in recognition of his leadership and the war efforts of Kinsmen and Kinetics. After World War II, Hal's Kinsmen Kinsmen association again concentrated on "Serving tne Community's ureat- cst Need." Homes for seniors, playgrounds, playgrounds, parks, community centres, child identification programs, housing housing projects, sponsorship of youth sports and medical assistance through organizations like the Kinsmen Rehabilitation Rehabilitation Foundation of British Columbia Columbia are some examples of how Kinsmen and Kinetics have been fulfilling fulfilling Hal's dream of community service with fun and fellowship. Kinsmen and Kincttes were early supporters of research to find a cure or control for Cystic Fibrosis and have contributed over $20 million since 1964. Other national projects include support of Operation Go Home, a program to encourage fami ly reconciliation, Kin Shining Light Society, for child abuse awareness and the patriotic "Raise the Flag!" Day each year. Kinsmen and Kinetics have supported medical and housing programs in Africa and Central and South America as part of their international international commitment to helping other countries. Since Hal gathered three other young men for the first Kinsmen meeting in 1920, the equivalent of nearly one billion dollars in service work and funds has been donated by Kinsmen and Kinetic Clubs of Canada Canada for the betterment of lives at home and abroad. In 1967, Hal Rogers was awarded the Canada Confederation medal and in 1978 was invested as an Officer of the Order of Canada in recognition of Kin service work throughout the nation nation and worldwide. Subsequently, he was made a Paul Harris Fellow of Rotary International, was inducted into the Hamilton Gallery of Distinction Distinction and, in 1992, when he was 93 year's of age, received the Canada 125 medal. He was made an Honorary Honorary Citizen of the Province of Manitoba Manitoba and was given the keys to many Canadian cities during his over 60 years of travel across the country.
