"Mae Radford finishes the Hike for Hospice and places the name of her friend, who passed away at the Carpenter Hospice, on the Memorial Board.
Mae is grateful to the many Rotarians who sponsored her in The Hike.”
The Rotary Club of Burlington Central @rcbc7080 weekly meeting starts with our President Rene Papin reading out Truth and Reconciliation statement.
Our club has a newly formed Research and Reconciliation committee. In observation of Orange Shirt, the committee invited Jim Daschuk, professor at University of Regina.
Jim gave our club an excellent presentation and described what this Orange Shirt Day truly means. The past, the present and future for Indigenous community.
This level of research is continuous in our club and we are looking forward to finding ways to help and contribute to Indigenous culture, people and learn more.
The 4 Rotary Clubs of Burlington joined together to sponsor the Stock the Box Challenge for ShelterBox Canada in the amount of $2500!

Four Burlington Rotary Clubs at Christmas
Together, the four clubs in Burlington joined to prepare 800 goody bags full of candy canes, chocolates, a cookie and other sweets ready to add to the Christmas Dinners served on Christmas Day by the Meal Bag Program at Wellington Square United Church.
It has been a tough year: some folk lost their jobs, families lost loved ones, some had health issues and some became more socially isolated than ever. Many community partners, friends, churches, and organizations, including Rotary, rallied together and did everything they could to deliver a safe ‘pandemic proof’ Christmas dinner and deliver a message of hope to those in such need. The Meal Bag Program at Wellington United Church is so grateful for the Christmassy candy bags provided by the four Burlington Rotary Clubs that gave that special touch, a sweet ending to the Christmas dinner.
Our partners, volunteers and friends who delivered the hot meals heard inspirational stories of gratitude for the meal on Christmas Day.
