Baxter Park, after the home of the famed Grand See Lodge, was set up as a municipal park in the late 1960s. A neighborhood centre situated on the house was transformed to a school prior to getting marketed back again to the metropolis in the 1980s. Soon right after that, the Kinsmen Club of Sarnia managed the neighborhood centre till it was torn down in 2016.

In 2020 a pergola was constructed in the park to celebrate Kinsmen’s 90^th anniversary.

Designs are previously underway to elevate dollars for a long term neighborhood centre reported Kinsmen member Jack Struck, co-chair of the new celebration.

“The Sarnia Kinsmen Club have been serving and setting up the Sarnia Neighborhood for about 90 several years,” Struck stated. “Much of our community involvement and philanthropy would not have been possible without the need of collaboration. Above the several years the Kinsmen have hosted a lot of occasions, including the once-a-year Ribfest, Canada Working day Parade and Santa Claus Parade. We have raised about $1 million for our neighborhood and supported numerous initiatives and we appear ahead to continuing our initiatives and truly generating a change.”
