Every year, ShelterBox Canada says thank you to Rotary Clubs for their incredible support with the ShelterBox Canada Hero Awards. Natural disasters and conflict are inevitable and frequent, and the need is continuous. A ShelterBox Canada Hero is a Rotary Club that has identified the continuing need to prepare for disasters and respond at a moment’s notice. Clubs are recognized based on their total annual giving throughout the Rotary year and all donations that are fundraised or donated by the club are included in Hero recognition. For the third year in a row, The Rotary Club of Edmonton Whyte Avenue has been awarded with a Bronze Hero award from ShelterBox Canada!
ShelterBox has now provided aid to 2,000,000 people across 98 countries! While it took 15 years to help 1 million people, The Rotary Club of Edmonton Whyte Avenue has helped ShelterBox reach their second million in the space of just 5.5 years. Our club is proud that we could contribute to help improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of families affected by disaster and conflict.
