Description

The plaque situated in the middle of the rose garden reads: Kiwanis Rose Plot Marker. First planted in 1920 to demonstrate the possibilities of rose culture in Vancouver The City Beautiful.

The Kiwanis Club of Vancouver received its charter in 1919. Kiwanis was founded to meet the fellowship needs of business and professional men and to function primarily in service and goodwill. Since its inception, the Kiwanis Club of Vancouver has raised funds for the handicapped, aged, and needy, and sponsored other civic, cultural and social activities. In 1960, it assumed sponsorship of the B.C. Music Competition Festival. In the Lower Mainland today there are 17 branches with more than 10,000 members.
