The Club decided to first target the Food Bank as many  people, so far, are falling through the government support initiatives and food  is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kincardine Nimrod Club is Kincardine and area sports shooting  range.\u00a0\u00a0 Our club, along with other clubs in Ontario, are looking for  ways to help our communities during this terrible pandemic. This donation idea  was put forth on April 16th and the Club decided to run with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To us, it is even more significant now as a result of the terrible tragedy  in Nova Scotia over the weekend. Clubs like ours are trying to show the average  Canadian that we do not deserve to be painted with the same brush as the  criminal elements by some of the press and some\u00a0 politicians. Canada\u2019s 2.2  million legal firearms owners are not the problem. \u00a0As a group we  are Canada\u2019s most law abiding and trusted citizens.  The perpetrator in NS was not one of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, we are collectively a compassionate caring community that  is reaching out to provide assistance in our home towns. Together, we can make a  difference.\u00a0 As a club, we are made up of fellow sportsman &amp; woman from  ages 12 to over 80, all enjoying one of the safest sports in Canada. Members  include people from all walks of life &#8230; teachers, politicians, doctors,  farmers, dentists, nurses, executives, mechanics, heavy equipment operators,  nuclear operators, retirees, lawyers, store staff, students, etc.\u00a0 Many  people do not know that sports shooting is one of the fastest growing sports in  Canada and has more registered users than registered hockey players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Club is proud to be able to offer support to our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vern Steffler<br>President, KNC<br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kincardinenimrodclub.ca\/\">www.kincardinenimrodclub.ca<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Club has donated $1000.00 to the Kincardine Food Bank.
