'We provide service to all, and promote integrity, inclusivity, goodwill and peace through our fellowship of business, professional and community leaders.'

We were chartered on October 15, 1972 and since that time we have contributed well over $1,000,000 to the community in support of a broad range of services and organizations

We are a club that likes our service to go beyond financial donations and we work together to provide hands on service in a number of ways inc

luding:

We cook, serve, and provide the food for a community breakfast on the second Saturday of each month at the Salvation Army New Hope Centre,
We sort food at the Loaves and Fishes Warehouse on the 4th Tuesday of each month
We provide and serve barbecued food and popcorn at community events such as the Parks and Rec Family Fishing Day and the summers-end Family Fun Day

We are strong supporters of youth through:

Service projects at local schools
Rotary Youth Exchange, Rotary Youth Leadership Assemblies, and the local Rotaract and Interact Clubs
Annual Scholarships to secondary school graduates and VIU students*

We support various International Service projects as well as polio eradication worldwide.

We respectfully acknowledge that we live, work and play within the traditional territory of the Snuneymuxw First Nation.

*We acknowledge the financial support of the Province of British Columbia.

And the Community Breakfast continues

This month we served 175 meals - not quite a record for us (last month it was 205!) - but significant all the same.

We had the pleasure of having three inbound Rotary Youth Exchange Students help us with the serving: Veera from Finland, Luzzia from Austria, and Simon from France. A busy time, but satisfying to know the we've helped lots of folks who were in need of a hearty meal.

Installation of 2022-23 President and Executive

With the start of a new Rotary year on July 1st comes the installation of this year's club president - Perry Williams - at the dinner held on June 21. Jim Turley was awarded the Bruce Coleman Rotarian of the Year trophy. Now past-president Cara handed over the clock to Perry for safekeeping during his "presidential" year.

[The clock was a gift from the Rotary Club of Akita East, Japan presented to our club in the 1980's.]
