Proudly serving our community.
The Kiwanis Club of Petrolia and Area is a service club that serves to improve our local communities, and most importantly, the lives of children in Petrolia, Oil Springs, Wyoming, Watford, Brigden and Alvinston and across the world.
Many of our members are leaders in the business community, professionals, business owners and parents who have volunteered to join the Petrolia Kiwanis to make contributions to the lives of others in our community. Our club offers an excellent monthly forum for fellowship, networking, and meeting lifelong friends, while considering the busy schedules of our members.
