From May 15 to 17, 2026, over 150 Rotarians, Rotaractors, Interactors, and community leaders journeyed to the stunning Yukon Territory for Unite in Whitehorse, the Rotary District 5370 Conference. Hosted at the welcoming Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre on the banks of the Yukon River, the event brought the theme "Teamwork makes the dream work" to life.

Led by District Governor Ramesh Ferris and the organizing team, the three-day conference challenged attendees to rethink accessibility, deepen global and local partnerships, advance the global fight to eradicate polio, and embrace peace in practice.

Here are the powerful takeaways, inspiring stories, and moments of radical connection that defined our time under the midnight sun.

Rotarians in Edmonton are working on ways to attract more “People of Action” to the movement, and their efforts are paying off.

On April 15, Rotary District 5370 hosted a successful Get to Know Rotary event, drawing about 150 people despite a snowstorm. The evening brought together members from clubs across the greater Edmonton area alongside a large number of non-Rotarians for an accessible introduction to the organization’s local and global work.

“While the public had heard about Rotary, there is a ‘knowledge gap’ about the organization’s identity and global scale,” said Maëlle Toews, Public Image Chair for Rotary District 5370. “We always say that Rotary is one of the world’s best-kept secrets: We want to change that!”
