Projects

Landmark builds and ongoing support—local needs first, for Ladysmith families and visitors.

What we built

Four community landmarks delivered by Ladysmith Kinsmen members.

Transfer Beach · Centennial era

Spray park

The Transfer Beach spray park brings water play to one of Ladysmith’s favourite waterfront parks. Built in the town’s centennial era, it remains a summer destination for kids and families.

National service award ~2012

Kin Park playground

A major playground project at Kin Park earned national recognition from Kin Canada for service. The original wooden structure was a proud club legacy.

Legacy: the Town of Ladysmith’s 2026 Brown Drive playground replacement continues that legacy for the community that grew up with the old Kin Park build.

Opened 2021 · Award 2022

Downtown washrooms

Accessible public washrooms in downtown Ladysmith opened in 2021. The project received the BC District Governor’s Service Shield in 2022.

Transfer Beach

Festival of Lights building / shelter

A community building and shelter at Transfer Beach that supports the Festival of Lights and everyday park use— another lasting investment in public space.

Support for community sports facilities, including scoreboard contributions that help local athletics.

Youth sports

Ongoing support for youth sports in Ladysmith—helping kids get on the field and stay active.
