Sarah Beckett Memorial Playground

The Rotary Club of WestShore is raising funds for the Sarah Beckett Memorial Playground. The Playground is being built near City Centre in Langford, BC and will honour West Shore RCMP Const. Sarah Beckett, a mother of two, who was killed in April 2016 in the line of duty.

The playground is set to open on August 24, coinciding with the grand opening of the new Westhills Stadium. We will host fundraising events throughout the year including our Annual Lobsterfest & Easter Event at Millstream Village.

2019 Lobsterfest Raises $20,000

This years sold out Lobsterfest was a huge success! Almost 250 people joined together at the Legion to enjoy a good old fashion East Coast Kitchen party. Friends new and old enjoyed a delicious, fresh Lobster dinner followed by an action packed dessert auction where thousands of dollars were raised auctioning off cakes & desserts from local bakeries. A few brave souls participated in the Screeching In Ceremony to become honorary Nefoundandlanders!

All of the money raised throughout the evening totaled $20,000 which will all be donated to the Sarah Beckett Memorial Playground at City Centre Park.

Thank you to our sponsors: The City of Langford, West Shore RCMP, Langford Fire Rescue, Island Pet Source Langford, South Island Home Team, Qualis Builders & Accent Refrigeration. Also a huge thank you to our hosts The Langford Legion, this event wouldn't have been possible without them!

On Saturday, November 3, at Royal Bay Secondary school Westshore Rotary and the Warriors U13 & U15 girls basketball club held it's third annual Hoop Fest. During this event, Rotary members provided a pancake breakfast while the girls from the basketball teams and community members shot hoops to raise funds. Ten hoops for $20.
