Rotary Club of Montreal-Westward
75TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ROTARY CLUB MONTREAL – WESTWARD
Marc Garneau PC MP CC CD FCASI - Member of Parliment for Notre-Dame-de-Grace-Westmount
On January 23, 2015 Marc celebrated the 75th anniversary of the Rotary Club Montreal – Westward.
Marc was warmly received as the guest of honour. Other guests included Montreal-West Mayor Benny Massala and Russell Copeman, Montreal City Councillor and the borough mayor for Côte-des-Neiges-Notre-Dame-de-Grace.
Rotary clubs all over the world sponsor efforts at volunteerism and improving the lives of people in their communities. The Montreal – Westward club is a part of a worldwide network of 1.2 million people continuing an over 100 year tradition of communities helping their neighbors.
In keeping with their non-partisan tradition Marc talked about his public service outside of parliament, earth bound and otherwise. He commended members of the Rotary Club for their civic-minded contributions to the community.
The audience got a special treat as Marc described his preparation for space flight and the experience of being in outer space itself.
