Who We Are in Brief
'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.

Rotary Community Breakfast is back

On Nov 13 we cooked and served over 125 meals yesterday at the New Hope Centre Salvation Army Nanaimo Community Ministries. Very sad to see again first hand how desperate the lives of some in our community have become. Very happy to be able to give them some sustenance to survive the day. Huge thanks to S.A. staff Ed and Judy for coming in early to make sure we had everything we needed, and to show us the new equipment and procedures.
Garage Sale Trail a success
Despite steady rains and gusty winds, Rotarians braved the elements to ensure the 2021 Garage Sale Trail was up and running and.... a success. 
All six locations on the trail did a brisk but moderate business on the October 16 trail day and even though crowds weren't as robust as anticipated, the club did manage to bring in well over $3,000. 
Everything but the kitchen sink seemed to make its way into the mix and whether it was tools, books, storage containers, furniture, clothing or nick-nacks --- there was something for everyone. Hats off to the volunteers who made this a learning experience, a financial success and fun.
 
Installation - June 2021
With Island Health's continued recommendation for no group meetings our club's installation meeting took place via zoom - with a tropical theme. No masks needed, Mai Tai's were abundant, but not mandatory!
The new executive and new president, Cara Klein, were installed by incoming Assistant Governor Ken Hammer. 
Outgoing president Glynis Hayes presented the President's Citation to Don Dempson, and the Bruce Coleman Rotarian of the Year award was presented to Ian Thompson.
Best wishes to our rookie Pres!
 
Food Bank service project continues
Once protocols had been established for volunteers at the Loaves & Fishes Community Food Bank we re-commenced our monthly shifts. We are only allowed up to 8 volunteers, socially distanced and masked, so it's a different experience, but non-the-less rewarding. On Sep 29th, just 5 of us (Bill McK, Barney, Rob, Sheila, and Bill G) worked the shift and managed to sort three pallets of dry goods!
