Lenard Whiting Receives Honourary Paul Harris Fellowship

On May 19 at Gardner House, Lenard Whiting was presented with an Honorary Paul Harris Fellowship by Honorary Rotarian Lucia Melnick and Rotarian Gord LeMaistre of the Rotary Club of Kenora.
 
" Lenard Whiting, Tenor, and native of Kenora has returned home after forty years of living and performing in Toronto, to share his talent, passion, and experience. Over the course of his distinguished career, he has worked with the Canadian Opera Company and many other opera companies across the country. He has also performed as a concert artist in Europe, USA and Canada., and of course here in Kenora. Lenard's impressive career started here and was in the Festival of the Arts for many years, and was the winner of the Rose Bowl. He is now the Vice President of the Kenora Festival of the Arts.
Lenard was appointed Music Director at St. Alban’s Cathedral and Artist in Residence with the Kenora Catholic District School Board where in collaboration with Artistic Director, Darcy Ura, stage director, Edward Franko and as music director and conductor produced one of the best productions of Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat featuring the incredible talent of the young people here in Kenora.
Lenard and Edward's TrypTych Concert and Opera company will continue to produce many exciting musical events here in Kenora. 
 On behalf of Lucia and the Rotary Club of Kenora , we are pleased to have presented Lenard with an Honorary Paul Harris Fellow, which means that he has a concern about his fellow citizens, and a strong interest in making the community a better place for everyone.
Congratulations Lenard
