The Gatehouse
Jan. 11, 2017
Maria Barcelos is the Executive Director of the Gatehouse. Maria believes wholeheartedly in community engagement and the importance of community-based responses to underlying social issues. She motivates, acknowledges and empowers students, volunteers and staff to be part of the change they want to see in the world. An avid believer in the principles of transformative community justice, she values building safer communities through collaborative knowledge sharing, idea and process formulation and implementation. Maria is a graduate of George Brown College’s HR Management Diploma Program. Currently she is completing her BAA in Justice Studies at the University of Guelph-Humber. The vision of The Gatehouse and the restoration of this house was the creation of one man. Arthur Raymond Lockhart inspired many people with his idea to reach out to survivors of child abuse within this community. His vision is to give all survivors a place to tell their stories, to give them back their voices, to heal their wounds and to inspire them to see their own potential. This house is dedicated to this vision and this community. The Gatehouse, built in the 1890s, was the original doctor's house for the Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital. Abandoned for over 30 years, this building holds an important history in the Lakeshore area. Through the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and corporations, this abandoned historic building was completely renovated and carefully restored. A major renovation valued at over $300,000 was completed for under $30,000 because of the incredible support we received from our community. The Gatehouse started its operations on June 20, 1998 and since then the Gatehouse has helped thousands including children, youth and adults who have experienced childhood sexual abuse. |

Alma, Children's Education Foundation
May 24, 2017
The Alma Foundation was created by Alan Harman after a lengthy trip through South America with his family in 2008. He was deeply moved by the poverty and grace he experienced in remote indigenous communities in Southern Peru, and felt compelled to help in some way. After consulting development experts in Peru and Canada, he decided that investing in children’s education would provide the greatest opportunity to improve the quality of life over the long term in local communities. He first donated to local charities but, after witnessing their poor results, developed a set of guiding principles that he felt would have a sustainable impact and founded the Alma Children’s Education Foundation in 2010 based on those principles. Since then the charity has grown significantly and has been profiled in the Globe and Mail, and Reader’s Digest. Alma was also awarded the Peruvian Chamber of Commerce “Award of Special Recognition” in 2013.
Melanie Rodriguez is the Executive Director of Alma. She graduated from the University of Western Ontario’s Ivey School of Business with an Honours Business Administration degree as well as a Certificate in Sustainability. Experienced in non-profit and program consulting, she has completed 9 consulting projects in 5 different countries. During a 2012 volunteer trip to a Children’s Home outside of Cusco, Peru, Melanie fell in love with Latin America and has returned to Cusco to build upon her initial experience every year since. Previously, Melanie worked as a Financial Analyst for TD Bank, a Communications Specialist for Ivey’s Building Sustainable Value Research Centre, and as a Sustainability Lecturer for The University of Western Ontario’s Continuing Studies program. Most recently Melanie worked as a Program Associate in Nicaragua with the non-profit Global Brigades. |

In anticipation of that, we felt you might appreciate and benefit from some general conversation and Q&A about Ribfest before you arrive on site. What better way to have that kind of discussion that over a glass of wine / beer and some snacks. We will do it at the Club Office. We have maps and displays that can be helpful. We expect the evening will be very relaxed and will run until about 8:30PM … or so. There is ‘No Charge’ for the evening! Just come and enjoy!!

As you know Franklin Horner CC is holding their 30th Anniversary Party and Grand Re-Opening Event on Saturday June 10. I would like to announce that part of the Franklin Horner program at 2 p.m. is Rotary Etobicoke's sponsored Suitcase Theatre performance. This is a great event and I am hoping as many Rotarians and families as possible will attend and enjoy the show celebrating Canada's 150th birthday. This is the first of Rotary Etobicoke's six sponsored performances of Suitcase Theatre's "All Aboard - An Adventure Across Canada" at schools and community centers in Etobicoke. The fun, interactive, educational show celebrates Canada's 150th birthday and takes children on a journey by train, canoe and dog sled to learn about the people, the different cultures and the beautiful geography that make up our incredible country. The original musical production carries messages of friendship, co-operation and overcoming obstacles while helping children safely explore themes such as inclusivity, bullying and acceptance. With Rotary Etobicoke as a community partner Suitcase Theatre will be able to bring All Aboard - An Adventure Across Canada to children and their families in Etobicoke who would not normally be able to enjoy a live coast to coast adventure showing the diversity of our people and places through song and dance.
