Ukrainian refugees need our support and Rotary clubs all over the world are stepping up to unite for this initiative.
We have teamed up with the five Rotary clubs of Iași in Romania, where thousands of Ukrainian refugees are urgently seeking services and support. The "Rotary Helping Ukraine" local action group is pursuing a two-pronged approach to this end:
- the establishment of a "Rotary Helping Ukraine" emergency fund which has already collected more than 20,000 Euros
- the establishment of a 24/7 information centre at Iași International Airport
Our event on March 27 in collaboration with Ye Olde Orchard Pub on rue de la Montagne, White Dawg Project, and Mize Uzan was an incredible success! We raised more than $7,000 and continue to receive donations that are making a real difference!
Any and all donations made through our website, our page on Canada Helps, or directly to our office via eTransfer or cheque will be used to provide urgent relief to Ukrainian refugees. Tax receipts are available for donations of a minimum of $3 made through Canada Helps and a minimum of $25 directly to our club. Don't hesitate to contact us through the contact form on our website, via email, or on our FaceBook page for more information.
The Art for Healing Foundation has teamed up with local photographer and former Director of the Westmount Historical Association, Doreen Lindsay, to display fourteen photographs of important buildings in Westmount.
