District One Awards
2024-2025
Hi There,
I am Lori Dawn Antaya, your Awards Chair for 2024-2025. I am looking forward to taking the team's theme of "Pump Up Kin" and applying it to the Awards Program.
We want you to pump up your clubs and the individual members.
Send in award recommendations for a job well done. If it is an individual, a project, or your club accomplishing the Boake or the Outstanding Boake Efficiency, please let me or your deputy Governor know.
Please encourage your members to go for the speak off competition, write a quill, create a PR book. The growth you can facilitate by participating in these programs is invaluable. Whatever you can do to PUMP UP KIN!
2023-2024
- Awards Director Brandon Ward
Hello District One,
This year I am thrilled to take on the position as your District Awards Director.
I've always believed that Awards and recognition for clubs and individuals are an important part of Kin that often gets forgotten about.
Awards recognition can greatly help encourage clubs and the membership to push forward, work harder, and give more to their club and their community. It can also help intrigue new members to join a club or seasoned members to step up into a larger role within their club, zone or district.
Many will say that they don't need that "pat on the back". I would argue though that the "pat on the back" can often help an individual push forward and take steps that they would otherwise be uncomfortable taking.
2022-2023
Hello District 1!
QUESTION: Who doesn’t LOVE awards?
ANSWER: Well, based on the evidence most of the membership of Kin Canada.
We know, we know, none of us want to be putting our hands up saying “HEY, LOOK WHAT I DID!”. No one wants to pat themselves on the back.
A little secret: your club NEEDS you to do it. There is no better publicity you can get then winning awards. What better way to attract members. Let’s be honest here, nobody WANTS to play for the Maple Leafs, they want to play for Colorado, or Tampa Bay, or Montreal or ANY team that has won the Stanley Cup or even made it past the 1st round of the playoffs in the last 50 years.
Fill out the paperwork and win some awards. We can think of nothing better than the look on (District Treasurer) Frank’s face when we tell him we went over budget on awards because the response was so epic. LET’S DO IT! Let’s make the cheque for the awards soaked with Frank’s tears. We're sure they would be tears of joy.

CONGRATULATIONS AWARD WINNERS!!
THANK YOU to each and every one of you that took the time to tune in to our live presentation of the District One Spring Convention Awards "Covid-19" Edition. YES .. these are certainly different times but we have proven as Kin that we can adapt and go with the flow. The replay is available on the D1 Facebook Page so please, check it out if you haven't (tech issues and all)
It was a lot of fun bringing the laid back presentation to you. I will admit that shorts and bare feet FAR outweigh long dresses and heels. I dare you to challenge me on that one :)
So thank you to each and every one of you that submitted on your own and on behalf of someone else, to the awards programme this year. We have some amazing members in this District and you all are stars.
Here is the list of winners that was presented last evening:

I hope that you've had a most wonderful summer (I won't say break because most clubs don't truly take down time) and during that time, you probably have run some pretty impressive projects both fundraising (CF / Community) and service. With that in mind, it would be a GREAT opportunity for you to get the jump on the awards programme for 2019-2020 and get your submissions done.
Do note that your clubs' copy of the D1 Awards Brochure will be given to your club representative at Club Leadership Seminar. Those that are not retrieved there, will be given to your Deputy Governor to deliver on his or her next visit.
I look forward to seeing you at CLS, as I'll be giving you a once over of the District Awards programme.

District 1 Awards Package 2016-2017
Just a few short notes from CLS
Who doesn’t like to win?
In reality though – we are already winners, We are Kin – we are helping our community, our neighbours, our friends, we are helping strangers through our blood donation program and our commitment to finding the cure for Cystic Fibrosis. We are winners – but wouldn’t you like a little recognition.
The Awards booklet can be found on the District Website for everyone to see, or if you need a hard copy, one was mailed to your President a few weeks ago.
Myrtle Wilson/G & M Sinclair Service Award
This is a Service Award – no $ should be raised for the project that has been entered
Examples – Christmas Tea, Splash Pad, Jungle Gyms, window washing
Kin Quill
What is important about this award (and all the rest) is READ THE GUIDELINES -you can have the best story – but because you didn’t follow the guidelines – it will be rejected. There is a minimum and maximum number of words. You have to record the word count on the front of the document. Read the Guidelines.
Public Speaking Award
The marking scheme of this award will be changing slightly to align with the Toastmasters Guidelines – more information to come.
Read the Guidelines
Bulletin
- Does your Club produce a Bulletin
- Are you proud of them
- Have you entered them for an award – why not
- Guidelines – as stated before – follow them!
Public Relations/Photography Award
If you are doing events, why not take pictures! Keep track of the media attention you are getting and put it in a scrapbook and submit.
National Awards
Maple Leaf Award of Distinction
Open to new members in their first 2 years of Kin – gives them a chance to be part of Kin, while learning the ropes.

What’ve we got? BOAKE!!!!
And for those that were at Spring Convention – you know what I am talking about!
And those that weren’t – shame on you – you missed a great convention, but to fill you in…..
The Boake Efficiency and the Outstanding Boake Efficiency Awards are awarded to Clubs that effectively meet the Zone, District and National requirements such as:
- Does your Club pay their National and District dues on time?
- Does your Club send in your National Insurance form to Headquarters by the deadline?
- What about the Annual Incorporation papers and the Annual Club Reporting form and your Corporation T2 form – all filed on time and properly?
- Are your financial statements audited or reviewed each year?
- Did you invite a member of your District Council to a meeting or function last year?
Well there you go – you have just earned the Boake Efficiency Award.
All you have to do is submit your paperwork by July 15 and your Club will be recognized with the Boake!
What about the Outstanding Boake Efficiency Award. Just 3 more requirements
- Did your Club attend Zone Conference,
- What about FLC
- Did your Club attend Spring Convention?

MESSAGE FROM YOUR 2014-2015 AWARDS CHAIRS
Congratulations to all the individuals and clubs who picked up both National and District Awards at FLC – you are truly taking advantage of the personal growth opportunities that we all have available to us as members of Kin. Your fellow members could not be prouder of you.
A complete list of the winners has been published in the Resource Library on this website:
http://www.district1kin.ca/index.php/ResourceLibrary/Awards
We want to remind you that the Kin year is already half over and we’re waiting to hear from you. Please start sending in those award submissions – we want to see your service projects, we want to read your bulletins and quills – we want to be kept busy!
If you have new members in your club, make sure you take the opportunity, at every meeting, to talk about the awards program and help them fill out the paperwork and keep track of their progress. Each one of us has the responsibility to help nurture newer members and the awards program is a great way to help them learn about Kin and become active, educated members with the potential to be our future leaders.
We are both very eager to hear from members with any questions and would be happy to come and speak at your club and zone events regarding the awards program. All you have to do is contact us and we’ll make it work.
Happy holidays to you all!
Yours in Kin,
Terri and Wendy
