Muriel Tolley receives her Paul Harris Fellowship recognition from Wayne Guy at our last luncheon.
Muriel Tolley has been honoured with a Paul Harris Fellowship, proudly adding to the growing list of recipients this fall, as the Club celebrates it members in our 50th Anniversary.
Balsam fir wreaths fresh from a sustainable Nova Scotia tree farm, decorated and ready to hang with pride on your front door this holiday season. A perfect gift for friends, loved ones, neighbours or that hard-to-buy-for person!
The carefully boxed, wrapped wreaths are $50 each and can be ordered up until Nov. 30 (hundreds are available, but we do run out some years). They will be hand delivered by a small army of volunteers on Dec. 4.
Tony Whitford, right, listens to Peter Vician speak about him prior to accepting his Paul Harris Fellowship recognition.
A Paul Harris Fellowship recognition is the way the Rotary Foundation expresses appreciation for financial contributions made by members. Individual clubs can also decided to make a donation on behalf of a person in the community in order to honour them for their work.
At the last luncheon, three more Paul Harris recognitions were handed out to members, proudly adding to the growing list this fall at our Club.
John Hazenberg offers the invocation at the start of the Club's offsite meeting last Thursday.
Our Club held its first offsite indoor lunch meeting last week, gathering in the basement of Yellowknife’s historic Holy Trinity Anglican Church.
Almost 20 members brown-bagged it for the event, which followed the COVID-19 public gathering guidelines.
The certificates were flying at the last Club luncheon, as three members proudly received Paul Harris Fellowship recognitions. After being introduced by a selected member, President Wayne Guy handed out the certificates.
Attached is the financial statement for the past fiscal year, approved by the club's executive on Sept. 19. Treasurer John Hazenberg will ensure that our annual filings with the registrar of societies are also up to date.
The 2020-2021 budget is being reviewed and will be discussed by the executive at its next meeting. All members in good standing will then be presented with the budget for discussion and approval at the AGM, the date of which will be determined soon.
Chuck Tolley and Jan Larsson pick up the supplies (choosing to wear masks as a COVID-19 precaution).
Vice-president Celestino Oh, left, and president Wayne Guy present Pam Coulter with the certificate at the regular luncheon on Sept. 10, 2020.
Wet weather and high water provided challenges for completing seasonal maintenance in Rotary Park and on the boardwalk.
When the weather was nice this summer — and we had some glorious days — the club met outside and under the pavilions in the park to comply with public health COVID-19 regulations. But it seemed whenever some work was to be done, the rains came.
In this time of social distancing when, for everyone’s safety, we cannot gather for the annual Rotary Club Canada Day event through the streets of downtown, we’re asking you to share how you are celebrating Canada Day at home this year, for chance to win prizes!

Work continues by Rotary Club of Yellowknife True North on the new bridge which will provide better access to the Back Bay Cemetery, which is a City of Yellowknife heritage site and the final resting for many of the community’s pioneering families.
Following social distancing guidelines, Yanik D’Aigle, president of the Rotary Club of Yellowknife, finds a unique way to pass a novelty cheque to Ben Linaker, United Way NWT board member, signifying a donation that will be matched to provide $12,000 to Yellowknife school boards for food support to children.
The Rotary Club of Yellowknife is pleased to partner with the United Way and the Yellowknife Community Foundation to provide $12,000 to Yellowknife school boards for food support to children in this trying time through the Together, We Are Strong campaign.
Your time, energy, and a passion to improve your world are all you really need to get involved with Rotary.
Our District Governor Tracey Vavrek's journey started with a beautiful 13 hour drive from Grande Prairie through magnificent country to Yellowknife. They were welcomed by wild bison along the way.
Rotarians and the community of Yellowknife welcomed them with open arms and shared their pride in the history of their community. Here are a few photos and memories from their journey!
