We’re excited to welcome Brian Edwards, our current District Governor, as our guest speaker at our next meeting scheduled for Wednesday, March 19th. His talk, "My Journey in Rotary and What Keeps Me Here," will take us through his experiences, the connections he’s made, and the impact Rotary has had on his life.
Brian has been meeting with Rotary clubs across the district, sharing his story and encouraging others to reflect on their own Rotary journey. His hope is that we can all make an allegorical leap and think about what Rotary means to us.

Last Meeting Recap
During our last meeting, we had the pleasure of hosting ICChange and learning about the incredible work they’re doing to bring clean water and sustainable solutions to communities in need.
Their impact is real, and their mission is truly inspiring. Access to clean water transforms lives, improves health, and empowers communities. We’re grateful for the opportunity to learn and support such meaningful work.
Indigenous Speaker Series
Our District’s commitment to understanding and building relationships with Indigenous peoples continues with the Indigenous Speaker Series. The next session will be presented by Marlene Orr, where she’ll share insights on the impact of the justice system on Indigenous people.
Marlene brings a wealth of experience in justice, wellness, and community support. As the CEO of Native Counselling Services and co-chair of Alberta's Indigenous Community Security and Policing Committee, she has dedicated her career to transformational change. She’s also a Rotary Club Integrity Award recipient, among many other honours.
