75th Anniversary Dinner and Dance for Cystic Fibrosis

We will be celebrating their 75th anniversary with a dinner/dance in support of Cystic Fibrosis Canada. The event will take place on Saturday, November 21, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., at the Fonthill Royal Canadian Legion, 141 Hwy 20 East, Fonthill.

Tickets for this licensed event are $30 each and are limited and can be purchased from the Fonthill Royal Canadian Legion, Pelham Printing and Design, or by emailing Fonthill & District Kinsmen at: fonthillkinsmen@gmail.com.

The event will include a light buffet dinner and music performed by Niagara’s very own
Revolver and Friends. The band likes to keep their audiences dancing and singing along to the
music, and playing very authentic covers of hits from the 1960’s through the 1980’s, including
an expansive repertoire of Beatles songs. There will also be a silent auction and a 50/50 draw.
A cash bar will be available.

Citizen of the Year

Since 1998, the Kinsmen Club of Fonthill and District have reached out to the local community to nominate someone who exemplifies volunteerism and community spirit, and the people have spoken and nominated Al Crowe as the 2025 Pelham Citizen of the Year!

Al is a member of the Fonthill Lions Club and Branch 613 of the Royal Canadian Legion and is affectionally known as their “Mr. Fixit”, dealing with whatever maintenance task arises. He also works the club’s food trailer at the Pelham Farmers Market on Thursday nights and provides his culinary expertise to the Fonthill Lions as well.

At 83 years young, Al was born in Niagara-On-The-Lake and in his youth worked the family farm, Young Sod’s Supply on Foss Road, and managed a small restaurant named the Fairview for a number of years (located where Mossimo’s restaurant is today).

These days, in addition to the tireless efforts he puts in around the community, Al enjoys a round of golf, a game of bowling, and spending time with his family.

The Kinsmen thank you all for all your nominations for this important event to recognize those who work non-stop behind the scenes in our community! The award dinner will be held Tuesday March 03, 2026 at the Fonthill Legion on Highway 20 in Fonthill. Advance Tickets are available only, and can be purchased for $20.00 at Pelham Printing located at 22 Highway 20 W, Fonthill.
