Rotary Moments That Matter

This week’s meeting was full of inspiration — from Kingsley’s impactful coffee business in Uganda to our outstanding EMS scholarship recipients Serena, Vir, and Harmandeep, who gave us hope for the future. 🎓
We celebrated service with Paul Harris Fellow #4 awarded to Terry Peel 👏 and pins presented to Gina & James for their club contributions.

Hearts of Service, Hands of Change

Bob presented the Paul Harris Fellow award to Patti Wilson and the club honoured her service with a standing ovation! Suzanne and Dionne Smith spoke on the Youth Ambassador program and received a $2500 gift to their charity. Anthony and Winston inducted new member Natalia Gill welcoming her back into Rotary from the old Peninsula club.

Building Tomorrow: Celebrating Student Achievement and Community Support

Meet Tanveen Sachdeva, an exceptional student leader whose passion and dedication have made a lasting impact within her school community. From decorating the foyer for multicultural celebrations like Diwali, Vaisakhi, and Lunar New Year, to promoting inclusivity through the EMS Leo Leadership Club and the Mariner Newspaper Club—Tanveen’s energy and commitment shine through every initiative.

Community Spirit in Action: Cheque Presentation, Rotarian Guests & Farmer's Market Highlights

Ed Laverock receives a $5200 cheque on behalf of PAH Foundation presented by Adam Smith, Chair of the Community Services Committee, Bonnie and Bruce were visiting Rotarians from Whitehorse who knew one of the founders of the booksale. Elaine Cheung, city councilor spoke on the Farmer's Market pictured with Anthony and Nicole Cormier, Secretary of the Farmer's Market.

Building a Better Community, One Story at a Time

From inspiring community projects to heartfelt initiatives, this week’s meeting was full of purpose. Bryan Fast shared his reflections and passion behind “Hanging Coffee,” a pay-it-forward effort gaining ground thanks to local support like Hillcrest Bakery. We also heard from Frankie LaSasso and his daughter Esmelda on Punch Out Parkinson’s, and Winston gave us highlights from the District 5050 Conference. 💬☕️💪
