Together the Rotary Club of Wainwright, the Rotary Foundation and PAMBE Ghana we are working to install a system of harvesting water on a roof of a new school building to use for drinking and to construct two environmentally friendly bio-toilets with a system to recycle grey water to flush toilets and a biogas digester to convert waste into useable biogas to cook school lunches, thereby replacing burning wood, which is scarce, laborsome and causes pollution.

Rotary Skills Park, Revelstoke

In 2018, the Revelstoke Rotary Club partnered with the Revelstoke Cycling Association to build a skills bike park. The purpose of the riding skills park is to provide an easily accessible set of routes for mountain bike riders to practice and improve their riding skills. The park will be a great place for youth and people with adaptive needs to learn mountain bike skills on trails that are built to teach specific skills and build in difficulty and will be located at the base of Mount Macpherson. Mountain biking is an increasingly popular sport in Revelstoke and keeps youth body and mind active.

The club did not stop there, furthering the development by putting in a block dam, installing a playground, log retaining walls and a wharf.
