End of year 2022
The Rotary Club of Ottawa Bytown contributed 15 hampers to Centretown United Church. The hampers contained gifts and grocery gift cards for 15 low-income families in the community. We have put a smile on the faces of 33 people for Christmas.
In December 2022, we also delivered cheques to the Centretown Emergency Food Centre, Hospice Ottawa, Daybreak Ottawa and St. Mary´s School. We also covered the whole shifts for the Salvation Army campaign last Saturday at Billings Bridge Mall. The previous week we delivered a $6,000 cheque to the Rotary Home, funds raised by the Car Rally in the fall.
Rotary Club of Ottawa Bytown Car Rally
On September 25th, 2022, our Car Rally took place. The Rotary Club of Ottawa Bytown partnered with the Ottawa Home Foundation to raise funds and have fun in a nice event that allowed participants to enjoy the Ottawa landscape while performing tasks with family and friends. This year the path took participants to visit great places along the Rideau Canal. At Merrickville, participants were able to enjoy the beautiful town while learning about its historic background. The Rally started at the Ottawa Rotary Home and ended at the same place, where participants and organisers enjoyed drinks and snacks while sharing its adventures during the Rally.
