Welcome to a New Rotary Year!

Dear Rotary Family,

Welcome to a new Rotary year and to an exciting new chapter for District 7080!

As we begin this journey together, I am honoured to serve as your District Governor. This year, we embrace Rotary International's inspiring theme, "Create Lasting Impact," while rallying around our District's call to action: "Roll Up Your Sleeves!"

Creating lasting impact doesn't happen by chance - it happens when every Rotarian is willing to contribute, serve, and lead. It takes all of us.

This year, I invite every club and every member to help elevate Rotary's public image. Let us consistently share our stories on social media, proudly represent Rotary at community and professional events, invite non-Rotarians to experience our service projects and meetings, and ensure that wherever we serve, people know that Rotary is making a difference.

When we tell our story together, our impact grows. When we work together, our communities grow stronger. And when we all roll up our sleeves, we create a legacy that will inspire generations to come.

Thank you for your commitment, your passion, and your willingness to serve. I look forward to working alongside each of you as we strengthen our clubs, expand our reach, and Create Lasting Impact across District 7080 and beyond.

Let's Roll Up Our Sleeves and get to work!

Yours in Rotary Service,

Uche George Okugo, MBA 

District Governor 2026–2027

2026 Changeover Celebration
2026 Changeover Celebration
On Wednesday July 8th we celebrated our End of Year Turnover at the Rotary Club of Oakville Trafalgar, marking the close of an incredible year of service and leadership.
A heartfelt thank you to our outgoing President, Dianna Dinevski, for her dedication, vision, and heart throughout her term — our Club is better for it.
And a warm welcome to our incoming President, Jim Lilly, as he takes the helm for the year ahead. We can’t wait to see where his leadership takes us!
Grateful for this community and everyone who came out to celebrate together. Here’s to another year of Service Above Self.

Inspirational Message from Malala Yousafzai
Malala Yousafzai, the youngest-ever Nobel Peace Prize laureate, shares her journey of self-discovery in a new memoir titled Finding My Way. At just 15 years old, Yousafzai was thrust onto the public stage after the Taliban's attack on her life — a failed effort to silence the young activist. Today, she continues her work of empowering and educating girls around the world through her nonprofit, Malala Fund. The senior producer and host of Taiwan Talks, Yin Khvat, sits down with Yousafzai to discuss mental health, identity, and her activism.
 
What an Unforgettable Weekend!
From June 26–28, thousands of people came together to celebrate at the 2026 Oakville Family Ribfest, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
To everyone who attended, thank you for spending your weekend with us. Whether you came for the award-winning ribs, the live entertainment, the midway, the KidsZone, the Marketplace, or simply to enjoy time with family and friends, you helped make this year’s festival an incredible success.
A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors for making it all possible—our Host Sponsor, Sheridan College (Official); Marketplace Sponsor, CEFA Early Years School; and KidsZone Sponsor, Scholars; and all of our incredible Gold, Silver, Bronze, Media, Nickel, and Friends of Ribfest sponsors. Your generosity and community support helped bring this event to life!
Thank you as well to our dedicated volunteers, the talented ribbers, food vendors, Marketplace vendors, Astro Amusements | Toronto Midway Rentals for another fantastic midway, our incredible entertainers who kept the crowds smiling all weekend long, and everyone who worked behind the scenes to make the festival run so smoothly.
Most importantly, thank you to every guest who came out to support the event. Because of you, the Oakville Family Ribfest continues to make a meaningful difference in our community.
On behalf of the Oakville Lions Club and the Rotary Club Oakville Trafalgar, thank you for helping make the 2026 Oakville Family Ribfest one to remember.
