It was in 1958 former Yorkton Air Cadet Ron Gienow was killed in a parachuting accident over York Lake. The tragedy took place at the official opening of the regional park, an event sponsored by the Kinsmen Club.
To honor his memory the Kinsmen Club donated the Gienow Memorial Trophy to the squadron which has been annually presented to a senior cadet who had demonstrated
distinguished service to the squadron.
This spring the Kinsmen Club sponsored the refinishing of the award and Brian Stanaghan, president of the Yorkton Kinsmen Club presented it on parade to this year’s recipient FSgt Audra Harrison.
