Statement of Condolences – Rotary Club of Nisku Leduc

The Rotary Club of Nisku Leduc extends its deepest condolences following the devastating tragedy at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright this past weekend, which claimed the lives of four Canadian Armed Forces members and left 39 others injured.

We mourn the loss of Sergeant Morgan Wong, Private Shaun Farrell, Private Aidan Goulding, and Private Hayden Lykkemark. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to their families, friends, fellow service members, and all those who are grieving this unimaginable loss.

Our thoughts are also with the 39 injured members, particularly those facing critical injuries, and with their loved ones as they navigate the difficult road to recovery. We recognize the courage and dedication of the emergency responders, medical personnel, and all those who have worked tirelessly to assist the injured and support those affected.

As Rotarians committed to Service Above Self, we stand in solidarity with the Canadian Armed Forces, the Wainwright community, and everyone impacted by this heartbreaking event. May those who are grieving find comfort and strength, those who are injured receive the care and support they need, and all those affected find hope and healing in the days ahead.

On behalf of the Rotary Club of Nisku Leduc, we extend our deepest sympathies and hold all those affected in our thoughts during this profoundly difficult time.

Following her presentation this past Thursday, Cassy Nelson accepted a cheque for $22,500 on behalf of BGC Leduc. These funds were raised through our annual Lobsterfest fundraiser held this past spring. We are proud to partner with BGC Leduc and support their important work in our community!

Welcome Aboard, Jack Ouellette!

We have a new face around the Rotary table, so please join us in giving a big Rotary welcome to our newest member, Jack Ouellette!

With our Membership Director Grant Leach out of town, Jamie McNamara stepped up to the plate and officially inducted Jack into our Rotary family.

And apparently Jack is twice as special as the rest of us because he has not one, but TWO sponsors — Jamie McNamara and Lorne Yeo! We’re thinking Jack must have been a pretty good salesman! 

Jack is retired after spending most of his career in U.S. federal law enforcement. He and his wife, Mary, are now working on becoming Canadian citizens. 

Good luck, Jack! We’re keeping our fingers crossed that the paperwork gods smile on you and Mary and that you’ll officially be Canadian soon!

Jack and Mary have two sons and their families living in the Edmonton area, bringing them back to Canada to be closer to their family. And luckily for us, their return also brought Jack our way!

When he’s not busy enjoying retirement, Jack likes golfing, biking, hiking and curling. He’s also looking forward to spending some of his time volunteering and helping out with Rotary.

We’re very happy to have you aboard, Jack. We hope you quickly discover that Rotary is a pretty great group of people to spend time with — and that there’s always something happening!

Welcome to the Rotary Club of Nisku Leduc, Jack! We’re glad you’re here! 

 
The Winning Ticket Number is - C-4247
Congratulations if you are the ticket holder!

June 18th, 2026 - Chris Scheetz - Alberta Dreams
 
 
We were pleased to welcome Chris Scheetz this past week who spent the past 35 years living his dream working at his favourite radio station in every role and influencing the community he lives in. He's never forgotten his country's "farm kid" roots and feels like they continue to have a great influence on his life and career. Chris has raised millions of dollars for charity in many unique ways, helping his community rally for people in need. He’s continued that passion working with Alberta Dreams as the Director of FUNd and Community Engagement. 
 
The Four-Way test is a reminder about our shared values and a useful guide of the things we think, say or do and of who and what we believe in.
 
 
But have you ever wondered just what Rotary is?

Well Rotary is an international volunteer service organization whose purpose is to bring together people from all walks of life in order to provide humanitarian services, encourage high ethical standards in life, and to advance goodwill and peace around the world.

It is a secular organization open to all people regardless of race, color, creed, religion, gender, disability or political preference.

There are 1.4 million individuals worldwide called Rotarians who have been giving back to the community for over a 100 years!

So there you go, now you know a little bit more about Rotary. So isn't time you gave something back?

We respectfully acknowledge that the Rotary Club of Nisku Leduc meets on Treaty 6 territory, a traditional meeting grounds, gathering place, and traveling route to the Cree, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Métis, Dene and Nakota Sioux. We acknowledge all the many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit whose footsteps have marked these lands for centuries.
