Our Speakers Jason and Alex Chupik

Posted by Howard Lau

Today, we have the Alex Chupik and Jason Chupik from Canyon Plumbing and Heating. Canyon Plumbing and Heating is a locally grown Calgary business, started in 1978.

The company was founded by a hopeful team of two brothers, who wanted to immensely improve their families and their own life. They reminded us what the great Alan C. Greenberg (Chairman of Bear Stearns) famously said: he only employed PSD as employees/partners. PSD – “Poor, Smart, Deep desire to be Rich”.

Thank you to our COG Sponsor Rotarian Michael Colborne and Employment Partnership

The Rotary Club of Calgary Downtown is the host club for 2018-19 for the Guatemala Literacy Program (GLP). The GLP is a network of Rotarians and the nonprofit organization Cooperative for Education (CoEd) that improves education for underserved students in Guatemala. It is one of the largest, grassroots, multi-club, multi-district projects in Rotary. The project was also recognized at the international convention in Atlanta as one of the most effective programs in Rotary.

Hurricane Relief: Donate to ShelterBox

Posted by Rick Istead on Sep 13, 2017

I’m sure we all have been watching and listening to the reports about the loss of life and catastrophic devastation caused by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma.

To those Rotarians who are asking the question “how can we help?” your District Board is recommending that you direct your personal donations to Rotary’s disaster relief partner “ShelterBox Canada”.
