With it being so cold out right now, please remember you can call 211 if you see someone in need of assistance.
The City of Edmonton has activated its extreme weather response to help keep vulnerable Edmontonians safe during the cold weather expected in the coming days. The response will remain in effect until the weather improves. There will be 3 days notice before the response is deactivated.
The activation includes the operation of dedicated ETS bus routes to transport people to shelters and the temporary expansion of emergency shelter space during the extreme cold.
REMINDER
Two New Committees
Looking For Members
1. A Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee - Everyone who engages with Rotary — no matter who they are, where they are in the world, or how long they have been connected with Rotary — should feel valued, respected, and welcomed. These ideals reflect what current and prospective members want and expect from their Rotary experience: respect, ethical leadership, inclusion, and the opportunity to work together to create more just, open, and welcoming communities for all people.
Diversity has long been one of Rotary's core values and continues to serve as a foundation for how we interact with each other and our communities. But we know there is more for us to learn and do in order to ensure that our organizational culture reflects and exemplifies DEI in all ways.
Michelle and Enyinnah Okere have stepped forward to lead this committee.
If you have any interest in being part of this new committee, please contact Michelle Okere at http://michelleaokere@gmail.com
2. A Land Acknowledgement Committee – to create our Club’s Land Acknowledgment
If you have any interest in being part of this new committee, please contact Kelly Sysak at http://ksysak@shaw.ca
