'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 including:

For many years we cooked, served and provided the food for a monthly community breakfast at the Salvation Army New Hope Centre. The pandemic and other circumstances curtailed this, and we are currently pursuing other service projects.
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.

District Governor visits our club

On September 26th we were delighted to welcome this year's District Governor (DG) to our club.

Caleb Summerfelt, who has two Masters Degrees and a PhD, is a high achiever who works 80 hours a week and still fulfils his commitments as DG. His passion for Rotary was evident throughout his presentation, which was highly innovative, and deemed by our members to be the best they've seen.

Thank you Caleb!
