A Vision Years in the Making: Building an Indigenous Rotary Club in Alberta

For Métis Elder Art Cunningham, the idea of an Indigenous Rotary Club has been decades in the making. Today, with the support of 23 newly engaged Rotary members, the recently established chapter is turning that vision into reality.

Cunningham’s connection to Rotary began in the mid-1990s, when he was honoured with a Paul Harris Award by a Rotary Club in Calgary for his work with Children and Family Services. At the time, he viewed the award as recognition for his past contributions. However, an Elder in his life offered a different perspective.

“He told me that receiving an honour like that meant I now had a responsibility,” Cunningham recalls. “I had to honour the award by continuing the work.”

Breaking Down the Disability Barriers of Your Public Image Marketing

Posted by Melissa Ward-Rathbun, Innovative Club Advocate & Assistant Public Image Coordinator Zone 32

Most of your Public Image marketing is being excluded from one billion people (1,000,000,000), or 15% of the world’s population. People with various disabilities are not able to ‘see’ your marketing, your website, your newsletters, and more.

The strategic goal of your club’s Public Image should be to enhance the public’s image of your Rotary Club, service projects, fundraisers, and community activities. And most clubs accomplish this with press releases, websites, and social media. Yet, most of this effort excludes those with disabilities.

Empowering Girls Youth Leadership Program

Posted by Nikita Williams, Zone 28 Empowering Girls Ambassador Assistant

Empowered girls become empowered women and empowered women change the world. One of the key initiatives for the Empowering Girls Ambassadors in Rotary Zones 28 & 32 was hosting two pilot Empowering Girls Youth Leadership Programs in collaboration with Toastmasters District 123 and District 46. Toastmasters International is a world leader in communication and leadership development. In May 2019, Rotary and Toastmasters formed an alliance and this Empowering Girls Youth Leadership Program (YLP) was a great way to strengthen and promote this alliance.
