Kimberley Motley:How I defind the rule of Law Jan 12 - 18,2015
Greeter this week: John Pierre Kamel
Hello Fellow Rotarians! My name is John-Pierre (JP) Kamel and I consider myself very lucky to be a Rotary e-Club of Canada One member!
My job takes me on the road for many weeks of the year and as a result I have never been able to commit to joining a traditional rotary club. Unlike most of my fellow e-Clubers, this is the first Rotary club I have belonged to. In fact, I was an e-club Rotarian for a full 6 months before I attended my first in-person “Terra” club meeting.
Why do I love being an e-club member? I am currently sitting on a boat in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and thanks to the e-club I am able to attend my home club’s meeting!
I have included a photo of myself, on the boat, attending my e-Club meeting with one of my daughters by my side.
As a new Rotarian I have a lot to learn…..I look forward to continuing this Rotary voyage with all of you!
I wish you all a very happy new year.

"On behalf of the Rotary Clubs of Fort McMurray; Oilsands Rotary and Fort McMurray Rotary, we would like to thank you for inviting us to attend the “Light Up Rotary with Rotary President Gary Huang”.
It was a most informative meeting and we enjoyed the talk from RI President Huang. It was most impressive to have a Rotary gathering with representation from both ends of the globe. We understand members were connected from the North of the Planet in Tuktoyaktuk to the South in Argentina and many places in between.
We enjoyed the online event and look forward to future events with the Canada One E-Club. A special thanks to Club President Dyer and his team for coordinating this event.
If you are fortunate to be in the Fort McMurray area, especially in the Winter, we welcome you to attend our meetings; Oilsands club Tuesday 7am at the Sawridge, Fort McMurray club noon at the Stonebridge.
Best Regards to our Rotary Friends."

On January 9, 2015, CBC started a national challenge called The Play Exchange. Six different groups of Canadians have six cool ideas to help get our country active and healthy. The groups are competing for up to one millions dollars, and your votes decide the winner. In this clip, Wab Kinew (host of Canada Reads 2015) explains the idea he's backing - the Walk To Tuk challenge.
