Access For All Dentistry

October 14, 2025

Riverview Rotarian, Dr. of Dentistry Suzy Depledge, has been the driving force behind a unique educational experience for dentistry students, "Access For All Dentistry". Over the past four years, through the leadership of Suzy, increasing numbers of University of Alberta dentistry students have been participating the program that gives them the opportunity to spend a week in rural towns around Alberta, providing service to underserved individuals, in a private clinic type setting. Clinical work spaces are setup (using mobile dental equipment) in community centres and schools. In addition to the unique work experience, students also participate in local cultural activities, songs, dances and outdoor adventures, provided by a partnership with the Metis Nation of Alberta.

Rotarians out in the Community

September 14 and 23, 2025

We've been busy. On Sunday September 14, several Rotarians, spouses and guests drove out to the Metis Crossing, near Smoky Lake to enjoy a hearty brunch and enjoy the facilities and the panoramic views of the mighty North Saskatchewan River. Thanks for coordinating this Brent.

Then on Tuesday September 23, Rotarians and spouses put in a shift at the Food Bank. Rewarding (but tiring) work, knowing that we are helping the less fortunate in our community.

LRT Expansion- City of Edmonton

October 7, 2025

Anyone spending any time in Edmonton, will know that the rapid transit system, the LRT, is being expanded both west and south. Traffic interruptions are a necessary evil to allow the construction of such ambitious projects. The $2.6B, "Valley Line West" project will see the new construction of 14 km of track from downtown to Lewis Estates (west of West Edmonton Mall). The second major project underway is the $1.3B Capital Line South expansion from Century Park to Ellerslie Road. Rowan Anderson, from the City of Edmonton provided background and a progress update on both challenging projects that will transform Edmonton's public transportation network. We all look forward to seeing this projects completed in the coming years and put to use by the citizens of Edmonton.

Movie Production in Alberta

September 16, 2025

Our speakers series took us on a wild ride today. Dylan Pearce (Chair of the Alberta Media Production Industries Association, AMPIA), is an Edmonton-based director and producer. He is passionate about expanding the skills and media production capabilities in Alberta. Surprisingly, there are major production facilities right here in Edmonton (in the Orange Hub) that is producing cutting edge, and award winning productions. Dylan is also working to have major productions made here in Alberta. In fact many Hollywood productions have been filmed in Alberta. We have fantastic scenery that the world loves to see. Thanks for entertaining us today Dylan!

Art Inspiration: The Nina Haggerty Centre for the Arts

September 9, 2025

Wow, Club members were very fortunate to have Rona Fraser, the CEO of the Nina Haggerty Centre for the Arts, join us and share with us the successes of this unique art centre. Started in 2003, the Nina gives up to 250 adults with developmental disabilities the opportunity to work as artists in many mediums (paint, clay, fabrics, print, etc). This has created an explosion of creativity. Artists from the Nina have had their artwork on prominent display in many buildings in Edmonton, in galleries as well as provincially, nationally and internationally. They offer free family art nights and their gallery is always open to the public. What an accomplishment. Congratulations!

Namibia School Project (MYO)

August 19, 2025

Carin and Stephan Van Vuuren, from the RC Edmonton Strathcona, have been organizing tours to their native southern Africa (Namibia and Botswana) for 15 years. While in Namibia, they have come to know and support Mondesa Youth Opportunities (MYO), a flagship project of the RC of Swakopmund, Namibia.

MYO is an intensive after-school education program located in the Mondesa Township in Swakopmund, Namibia, serving disadvantaged learners who demonstrate potential but lack access to quality education and family support. Operating for nearly 20 years, MYO has provided over 120 students in Grades 4 through 8 with additional education in English, Mathematics, Life Skills, Computers, Sports, and Music.

Several Riverview Rotarians have joined Carin and Stephan on their tours. Riverview is pleased to be financially supporting the MYO this year. Great work Carin and Stephan!
