About KinCal
Beta Version
KinCal provides a demonstration of how Kin clubs can have a common calendar and announcement platform. The system is currently intended as a demonstration. The project was developed independently and without any input or sanctioning from Kin Canada.
Information is Public
Although events and announcements can be categorized as public or internal, these designations are strictly for categorization. All information posted in KinCal is publicly available regardless of how it is categorized.
Obtaining Access
Each Kin club is invited to have a few members who have rights to create and edit club postings. To get access, send an email to Thom Hounsell at thom.hounsell[at]@[dot]gmail.com indicating your club. Thom will add your email address to the system.
Embedding on Your Website
Kin clubs can easily embed their own calendar and announcements (or their zone's) directly on their club website. This allows visitors to see your events and updates without leaving your site.
Available Embed Options
- Calendar Widget: Display your club's or zone's upcoming events
- Announcements Widget: Show recent announcements and updates
- Combined Widget: Both calendar and announcements in one embed
How to Get Your Embed Code
- Visit the Widgets page on KinCal
- Select your club or zone from the dropdown
- Choose the type of widget you want (calendar, announcements, or combined)
- Copy the provided embed code
- Paste the code into your website's HTML where you want the widget to appear
Customization Options
- Choose the number of events/announcements to display
- Select different color themes to match your website
- Set the widget size to fit your layout

💡 Pro Tip
The embedded widgets automatically update when you add new events or announcements to KinCal, so your website will always show the latest information without any manual updates needed.
