Rotary in Canada—Over a Century of Service
• The first Canadian Rotary club was chartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in 1910, just five years after the founding of Rotary in Chicago. It was Club #35 and made Rotary an international organization!
• Winnipeg's role is historic, as it marked Rotary's evolution from a national to a truly global movement.
Water First Partnership – Serving Indigenous Communities
• Canadian Rotary clubs have been key supporters of Water First, a Canadian NGO that partners with Indigenous communities to train young adults in water management.
• This partnership addresses clean water access and Indigenous reconciliation, aligning closely with Rotary’s areas of focus: water, education, and economic development.
True North Strong and Giving—Canadian Clubs' Cold-Climate Ingenuity
• Many clubs in Northern or rural regions of Canada (like Yellowknife or Iqaluit) have adapted Rotary service to remote, harsh climates—from ice-fishing fundraisers to snowmobile food drives.
• These clubs often bridge vast distances and cultural communities with creativity and resilience.

This week - 2 submissions!
(1) Rotarian David Werrett – History in Rotary
A Rotary Story – courtesy of Rotarian David who has been kind enough to share his outstanding Rotary history!
With Rotary, we have a global family – as David’s story will account!
How did you get involved with Rotary? Were you invited? by whom? When?
My Rotary history began in Cochrane with an invitation from a hair dresser to come to a Rotary meeting. She told me that there was an RCMP officer that was a member of the club and that he would do a check on me. I didn’t hear anything for several weeks and then I met a member of the club on the street in Cochrane and he said “what happened to you, you didn’t come back.” I told him that I thought I must not have met the requirements to be a Rotarian!
So I showed up at a meeting and I was inducted into the club in January 1993.
.jpg)
What was Rotary like when you first joined, and has it changed much?
In the early 90's it was rare for me to speak to my brother by phone, who farmed in South Wales, but during one conversation I discovered that we had both been invited to join Rotary at about the same time. The conversation continued with me telling my brother that we had a woman President, and he replied “You have women in your club?” It was a few years later that his club also had a woman president!!
What have you contributed to Rotary - and what has Rotary contributed to you?
In 1995 we both became presidents of our respective clubs and he and his wife came to stay with us when the Rotary International Convention took place in Calgary. As part of the convention, we were asked to invite visiting Rotarians for an evening to enjoy some fellowship with others, so we had Canadians, Australians, British, a couple from Bermuda and Americans to a BBQ at our home.
The club was involved with the campground in Cochrane along with the Lions Club. In 2004 the campground opened at a new location, and I was on the committee that was formed to run the campground. I also served in several positions in the club including Secretary, Club Service and International Service.
I became more involved in International service, and we did a number of overseas projects including Turkey and India. In 2000 I went to India on a Carl P Miller discovery grant which resulted in a $80,000.00 project to provide potable water and health services on an offshore island in southern India.
What is your best memory/good feeling/story about Rotary that you are willing to share with the readers? If you have a story, that would be super!
One memory of this trip was a few hours after I had landed in Cochin, I attended a meeting where the District Governor was in attendance. After the introductions and other formalities that started the meeting, the DG asked me if I would sing the Canadian national anthem. We sang the national anthem every Tuesday morning at the start of our meeting, but I was not prepared to sing O’Canada all alone especially after having been travelling for about 24 hours!

We joined the International Caravanning Fellowship of Rotarians (ICFR) and signed up to join them at a campsite outside Barcelona in June 2002 for the Rotary International Convention. We also did a number of rallies around the UK with them.
In the fall of 2004, we sold our Mitsubishi tow vehicle and caravan and in the spring of 2005 we bought a fifth wheel holiday trailer and Dodge diesel truck back home to begin our travels around Canada. During the next 20 years we travelled around every province in Canada except Newfoundland and Labrador but including the Yukon with a side trip to Alaska.
In addition we also organised a 5-week tour of Western Canada in 2006 for 21 couples, members of ICFR. This involved sourcing 21 rental motorhomes, and Sharon booking numerous campsites and ferry trips.
Why have you maintained your membership - and how long have you been in Rotary?
In 2012, I chose to leave the Cochrane club and look for an E-Club. I did a search for Rotary internet clubs and saw a name on a website of one that I recognised, Al Bergsma, and so I phoned him and asked about the club. Al was acting as treasurer, but he was also a member of the Rocky Mountain House club. Elly knew him and had asked him if he would accept the role of treasurer until the club was chartered to which he agreed.
When I told him I was interested, he wasted no time in asking if I would take over as treasurer. It seemed only a few days before he phoned me, and said he was coming through Cochrane and he would bring the “books” to me. And that is how I became treasurer of the new Rotary E-Club of Canada One.
Do you have any advice for today's Rotarians?
I have over 100 recorded club visits and, for those more recent Rotarians, RI published a book every year with all the clubs listed with the time and day of the meeting. So before leaving for Australia for example, I got the book out and looked at the map and clubs we could visit and so we were able to maintain perfect attendance. I say “we” as Sharon attended most of the clubs where we did a make-up.
We have attended clubs from North Pole, Alaska (yes, there is a town named North Pole) to Alice Springs, Australia, Aberlour (Scotland) to Lisbon and east to Kosice in Slovakia and many other clubs where we were welcomed in and treated like friends.
Sharon and I are both Paul Harris fellows; I am a member of the Rotary Foundation alumni, and a Foundation Benefactor and the recipient of a Rotary Foundation District Service Award.
I have really enjoyed my life in Rotary and the fellowship with Rotarians at home, in the International Caravanning Fellowship and at the many clubs around the world we have visited.
Rotary to me is epitomised by a quote of Sir Winston Churchill,
“We make a living by what we get, we make a life
by what we give.”
-- David Werrett

(2) A message from our sponsored Project Amigo student, Esmeralda
Hello, dear sponsor President Judy and members of the Rotary E-Club of Canada One. I hope you are all well and have a wonderful year.
I want to thank you for all the support you have given me and for continuing to support me as I return to school.
I also want to thank you because on August 19th I went to pick up my backpack and school supplies at Project Amigo. Thank you for all the support you give me, because thanks to you I am starting my second year of high school. This achievement is thanks to the support of my mom, my sisters, and you. This is very meaningful, as I am achieving something my sisters didn't have the opportunity to do at the time.
At the backpack pick-up, there were activities that we had to present to the person accompanying us. The person who accompanied me was my older sister. A tree-planting project was also carried out. Before we received our backpacks, our companions had to describe or explain why they had chosen that tree for us, as this activity has two objectives: to protect the environment by planting more trees, and the other objective was to protect the tree by treating us as a family.
Finally, I'll share a photo of me with my backpack and my little tree.
Before starting, I apologize for not writing sooner, because during the holidays I had to go to work with my grandparents.
During the holidays, sometimes I stayed at home, but other times I also stayed at my grandparents' house. They live in Pintores, a community near Suchitlán. I really like staying with my grandparents because I can go out for walks freely and there's lots of nature. Also, at home, my mom doesn't like me to go out much because she says it's not very safe.
At the end of July, while I was on vacation, I had the opportunity to participate in a week-long swimming class run by Project Amigo. There, I met many classmates from other homework clubs and got along really well with them and made many new friends. In addition to learning to swim, they took us to other places, like a museum.
After swimming lessons, I spent time at my grandparents' house, cleaning houses, and helping an elderly woman with housework.
During the vacation, I was anxious and nervous about starting high school, but I also attended Rangeliana painting classes, which are held on Wednesdays at the Project Amigo Suchitlán Educational Center. Many friends attend, so it's a lot of fun.
On September 1st, I returned to school. We met more teachers, and they moved us to a new studio and classroom. I felt great. I'll tell you more about my school in the next letter.
I bid you farewell with the most respectful regards.
-- Esmeralda

These Canadian Teachers are Inspiring Change
through Sustainability Education
It’s no secret that teachers are the change-makers of tomorrow. Teachers inspire and motivate their students daily. With the right support, students have the opportunity to become stewards of environmental change!
We wanted to highlight inspirational Canadian teachers fostering sustainability in their classrooms and leading their students to take environmental action.
Read the second story below and learn how they became sustainability leaders. Maybe this will spark your own journey.
Kathy has been teaching for 14 years, and within that time, she has taught high school food studies, English language arts, general sciences, and biology. She is the head of the science department at St Francis Xavier High School and currently teaches biology 20/30, science 10 and science 30.
Kathy's interest in sustainability started when she was young, going on nature walks with her parents. She says, "Our discussions about the living organisms around us, and what they needed to grow, instilled the viewpoint that all living things are widely interconnected and interdependent."
As she got older and discovered the impacts of pollution, climate change, and clear-cutting forests, she felt strongly about finding solutions for a sustainable future. Kathy says, "Once a tree-hugger, always a tree-hugger!"
Kathy thinks focusing on sustainability is looking at a future with hope. She feels hope is important when learning about global issues, especially in today's climate when students are bombarded with anxiety-inducing images on social media about wildlife, forest fires and other disasters.

Kathy says how it's practical to focus on sustainability. "We can have richer conversations about economic, environmental, and societal costs and benefits, and students can think critically about these perspectives," says Kathy. By teaching her students about sustainability, she hopes they will feel capable of making a difference towards a sustainable future.
She says, “It is inspiring to see students choose their project, get excited about it, dig in to work through challenges, express creativity, and be proud of their products when they share what they have learned.” Watch this video here to discover her students' wonderful work!

Since hurricane Paloma, there have been a lot of wild chickens on Cayman Brac.
The roosters are so annoying, because from early morning and throughout the day, all they do is crow! They wake me up long before I need to get up for school; and on weekends or during holidays when I can sleep late, they won’t let me because of their annoying sounds.
The hens are always scratching and digging up our yard. Then I have to rake it over as that is my chore! Sometimes I wish that there were no chickens!
But then one day, several months ago, I changed my mind.
One day after school, as my friends and I were playing in the neighbourhood, we saw a big brown hen scratching along the roadside. By her were eleven baby chicks. My friend Annie and I thought they were so cute.
Suddenly, the mother hen decided to go across the road, and a car was passing at the same time. The car hit her! We screamed in shock, but it was useless. The car didn’t stop and the mother hen had died!
Her eleven baby chicks scattered all over the place, chirping and tweeting! They were so scared and so were we!
Quickly, we decided to try to catch them. It was not easy to do. They kept us running back ad forth. Then they would stand still and not make any noise so we couldn’t find them!
One by one we caught them and put them in a clothes hamper that my mother used. They looked so tiny and afraid! I felt especially sad for them because the didn’t have a mummy anymore.
When my mother came home from work, we told her what ha happened. She told us that because they were so young – probably only a day old – they might not survive the night because they needed their mother to keep them warm and protect them. This made me determined to help them.
I got old clothes and put them in the hamper and covered the hamper with an old window screen. Finally, they settled down, and I felt all better. During the night, I got up to check on them, and they would look at me with little sad eyes. I felt like crying.
The next morning, the first thing I did as I awoke was to go check on them. We had put them in the garage for the night. I was so happy they were ALL alive and well! My mother told me to wet some bread and feed them with it. They started eating it right away! Now we had to decide what to do with them.
Should we let them go? Or try to raise them until they could take care of themselves? I told my parents I wanted to raise them, and they told me that it would be my responsibility to take care of them. I agreed.
My dad built a little chicken coop and we put them inside. I could even get inside it and stand up. The little baby chicks got used to me feeding them and giving them water. Then they saw me coming, they would make tweeting noises like they were happy to see me. I think they thought I was their mummy!
Weeks went by, and they grew. Mo mother asked me if I was going to ever let them out of the coop. I didn’t know what to do! I had grown to love them so much.
Finally, I decided to open the door of the coop to let them out. They looked at me strangely, then one by one came out. They scratched and dug at the ground so happily. The young roosters (there were four of them) looked like they were play-fighting with each other! The young hens flapped their wings like they were showing off their beauty. It was a sight!
The strange thing about MY chickens, as everyone started calling them, was that they would go off scratching/igging/crowing/clucking all day, but every evening they would all return to the coop to sleep. The roosters would crow at 5:00 a.m., but I had gotten so used to them by now that it didn’t wake me. Stranger yet was that the hens started laying eggs in the coop – so many that my dad made it all bigger for them. We had fresh eggs for breakfast and to put in cakes!
My grandmother, who grew up raising chickens as a child, said that because we had rescued and raised the baby chicks, they were returning the favour by providing us with alarm clocks and eggs.
I like that idea of hers. And I like that I did something nice.
Every week we'll have a draw and the lucky person will see their song featured!

Humour
Dear Ma and Pa:
I am well. Hope you are. Tell Brother Walt and Brother Elmer the Marine Corps beats working for old man Johnson by a mile. Tell them to join up quick before all of the places are filled.
I was restless at first because you get to stay in bed till nearly 6 a.m. But I am getting so I like to sleep late. Tell Walt and Elmer all you do before breakfast is smooth your cot, and shine some things. No hogs to slop, feed to pitch, mash to mix, wood to split, fire to lay. Practically nothing.
Men got to shave but it is not so bad, there's warm water. Breakfast is strong on trimmings like fruit juice, cereal, eggs, bacon, etc., but kind of weak on chops, potatoes, ham, steak, fried eggplant, pie and other regular food, but tell Walt and Elmer you can always sit by the two city boys that live on coffee. Their food, plus yours, holds you until noon when you get fed again. It's no wonder these city boys can't walk much.
We go on "route marches," which the platoon sergeant says are long walks to harden us. If he thinks so, it's not my place to tell him different. A "route march" is about as far as to our mailbox at home. Then the city guys get sore feet and we all ride back in trucks.
The sergeant is like a school teacher. He nags a lot. The Captain is like the school board. Majors and colonels just ride around and frown. They don't bother you none.
This next will kill Walt and Elmer with laughing. I keep getting medals for shooting. I don't know why. The bulls-eye is near as big as a chipmunk head and don't move, and it ain't shooting at you like the Higgett boys at home. All you got to do is lie there all comfortable and hit it. You don't even load your own cartridges. They come in boxes.
Then we have what they call hand-to-hand combat training. You get to wrestle with them city boys. I have to be real careful though, they break real easy. It ain't like fighting with that ole bull at home. I'm about the best they got in this except for that Tug Jordan from over in Silver Lake. I only beat him once. He joined up the same time as me, but I'm only 5'6" and 130 pounds and he's 6'8" and near 300 pounds dry.
Be sure to tell Walt and Elmer to hurry and join before other fellers get onto this setup and come stampeding in.
Your loving daughter,
Alice

My favourite story from the first Butterfly Storybook (2013)
When I became mummy to eleven baby chicks
By Catrise J. Connor, Age 7
Creek Infant School, Cayman Brac
Since hurricane Paloma, there have been a lot of wild chickens on Cayman Brac.
