Our June 26th meeting was full of excitement with speakers from our recent RYLA participant, followed by an introduction by Britney Wilson to CanU - a Winnipeg-based charitable organization that inspires hope and confidence in the leaders of tomorrow through its out-of-school mentorship and educational enrichment program for youth in Grades 5-12.
We then heard from Konadu Apea Bah, a CanU participant, describing how life-changing her time at HIP Y2Y was! It was through CanU that Konadu applied to participate in the Y2Y event. HIP stands for Honouring Indigenous Peoples and is one of the organizations our club is proud to support. Hearing the personal impact it has was a nice way to end the 2024/25 Rotary year!
To officially end the year, we welcomed our new co-presidents for the 2025/26 year, John Vis and Sandy MacDonald. We are looking forward to another exciting year! Thank you Jim Trann for your past service as president, giving us the time to get ready on the right foot!
We will be slowing down to one "meeting" a month during the summer, the 4th Thursday in July and August at CanadInn, 826 Regent Ave W. There will be no agenda, just a social get-together, get to know your fellow rotarians for those who enjoy the social aspect of Rotary. We will take note of ideas that come up at these meetings, ideas of what we want to do throughout the year, but there will be no official business.
