Mike Warkentin, CEO at Exhibition Park provided a great update on the major expansion project taking place at the Park. With a planned opening of May 2023 this facility will provide a great boost to local events and the city's ability to host larger regional, national and international events.
Rotarian, Bev Lanz, a member of the East Club and President of Exhibition Park introduced our guest speaker. Bev has been president during the construction phase. Bruce Galts was president during the final planning stage and Pat Killoran was president when the redevelopment idea was born almost 20 years ago. Rotary has fingerprints all over this project.

THE INSPIRATION OF OUR SERVICE – Over the past months members have been hard at work supporting Ukrainians, here and in Ukraine. In addition to the obvious benefit to the recipients, this has been a great benefit to our club. Members have been engaged in many ways, directly with families, donating money or chattels, befriending, buying perogies, offering job support, providing computers, transportation, glasses, health needs etc. This work has been an inspiration to us, to the club itself, providing an opportunity to gather, work together and to plant the seeds of vibrancy and strengthen the club. Thanks to ALL involved.
