ABOUT KBS

KEMPTVILLE BICENTENNIAL SOCIETY

The Kemptville Bicentennial Society (KBS) was established in 2018 by a group of Kemptville residents to organize celebrations and projects to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the first settlers arrival in the Kemptville area.  The members of the KBS are all volunteers and have been working hard to plan projects, activities, and events for this celebration and to raise needed funds through government grants, corporate sponsors and by holding fundraising activities.  New volunteers are welcome to assist with the celebrations.  Simply contact Margaret Gray at 902-761-2307 to submit your name.
