Over three days in September 2020, you will have the opportunity to meet Rotarians from across our vast District and to be inspired by truly outstanding, world-class speakers.
The vision of the 2020 District 5370 Conference is to put Rotary into perspective—as it was, as it is today and how it will be seen in the future.
For the past year, District Governor-Elect Jim Ferguson (Rotary E-club of Canada One) has been making Rotarians aware of the Rotary Global Rewards program and encouraging clubs to add a link to their website.
“It’s a value-added service that Rotary International offers Rotarians and Rotaractors,” Jim says.
The program offers Rotary club members discounts on products and services for travel, entertainment, and merchandise.
Today, our District has more Interact and Rotaract clubs than it does Rotary clubs.
A decade ago, that wasn’t the case. What happened? How did District 5370 become a Youth Services leader in North America?
Tamara Larson (RC of Edmonton Whyte Avenue), who has been the District’s Youth Services chair for the last three and a half years, credits 2010-11 District Governor Jackie Hobal (RC of Edmonton West) for getting the ball rolling.
What is a vulnerable person?
Vulnerable people are those which are temporarily or permanently dependent on others because of their disability, age, and other factors. These people may also be exposed to a greater risk of being harmed by those whom they are entrusted to or those in authority.
In terms of geographic area, our District has always been one of the largest in the world. On July 1, it became even larger. It now includes the Yukon, with two traditional clubs and, soon, a satellite club in Whitehorse. District 5370 now connects People of Action across three provinces (B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan) and two territories (Northwest and Yukon). Prior to this year, the Yukon clubs were part of District 5010, which consists of 38 clubs in Alaska.
