Rotary International Convention 2025 will be held in Calgary June 21 - 25, 2025. This is a great change for Rotarians to attend an International Conference that is being held so close to Winnipeg. We will send you more information as it becomes available

Speaker: We had three young people from our Rotaract Club at Fort Richmond Collegiate come and give an update the Rotaract Club. This year the Rotaract Club is thriving and has about 30 active members. Only a couple of these members will be graduating this year, so we should have a strong club again next year.
They went through month by month the activities that they were involved with, it's great to see such commitment from our young people. Some things that they were involved with were: Raise funds and items for Agape Table for Christmas, Volunteered at Rotary Villa for November 11th and at Easter Dinner, Carnival held at their school and the Career Symposium.
