Our National Anthem
Below from: https://theculturetrip.com/north-america/canada/articles/the-true-story-behind-o-canada/
On January
31, 1966, Canada’s Prime Minister at the time, Lester B. Pearson, made an
announcement in the House of Commons regarding the official status of
the O Canada! anthem.
Pearson proposed that the government take steps
to make O Canada! the official national anthem of Canada, while
keeping ‘God Save the Queen’ as Canada’s royal national anthem. The federal
government authorized a special committee which furthered Prime Minister Lester
B. Pearson’s suggestion.
After many
debates and discussions, the Canadian government acquired the copyrights of
Weir’s English version of O Canada! and music composition for future
amendments. Over a decade after Pearson’s 1966 announcement, The House of
Commons and the Senate passed The National Anthem Act on 27 June 1980,
receiving Royal assent for the change the same day.
What better day
to make the announcement than Canada Day? On July 1, 1980, in a public ceremony
featuring the descendants of Routhier and Weir, O Canada! was finally
proclaimed as the official national anthem of Canada.
Further interesting background information on the history of our national anthem can be found here:

Comments from our guests and members
Members and guests attending our weekly meetings are very important to us. Based on your comments we are able to produce many more educational, inspiring and entertaining weekly meetings.
Following are some of the comments we have received. Would you please send us your comments?
Learn to Travel.
Travel to Learn. Robin Esrock had an
opportunity to travel around the world in one year to 24 countries. This was
all made possible by an accident settlement of 20k. His travel resulted in
writing and reporting through media on his journeys. There he learnt many
things about how to deal with fears, trust, acceptance and most importantly how
people shape the world.

Wherever you are
is where you are supposed to be? Great message from this week's speaker!

Travel. Travel can be fun by meeting people and
enjoying their company. As Rotarians, we have the advantage of friends around
the world.

Club of Campbell River Lunch, District 5020
Learn to
Travel. Travel to Learn. I like how Robin provided thought-provoking
questions to get more insight into how we are conducting our lives, including
the potential of travel to open up & expand our knowledge &
connectivity, including the experience of having a "major wake-up
call."

Rotary Club of Calgary, Heritage Park, District 5360

Comments regarding our recent Fellowship Assembly, October 15
Hello and Good evening
Peter,
Jonathan
here. Sorry I have not been able to join
for the October club assembly. We have
some internet issues due to the insurgency in Iraq, Turkey, and
neighbouring countries. Otherwise
congratulations on all that you are doing.
Attached is my
contribution towards the discussion.
Why I Joined
Rotaract
By then we were
going to do a medical camp in one the villages in my country. Then the
experience got me thinking that there are people out there who are giving back
to the community. So for me, it was sense of belonging to the community. The
theme of Service Above Self sounded very captivating for me.
So I joined the
Rotaract club first to use my idle time serving other people. It was from
that, I was asked to charter a community club in my town. It was also to expand
my knowledge of the world.
Now I have
got the opportunity to meet people across the globe that I in my ordinary life
would never have met. And because of
that, my country being a developing country, there is a lot that needs to be
done, especially in the health sector.
Why the E-club?
Learning about the E-club was a great opportunity to meet with people, because basically I missed fellowship and I have always wondered how this can be done. The reasons remain the same but more of maintaining the touch and mostly meeting new people.
How can you attract and maintain members
Personally I
think there has to be some sort of leverage that the member can get out of the club,
because people join for different reasons. Get to know the reasons and try to
fulfill them. Sense of belonging is very important. If one does not feel
belonging to something, they will not commit or even be available for it. Think
of it as a relationship, whether it is good or bad.
Then also
encourage Rotaractors to join these meetings, but show them how to be committed
to the club.
Thank you and Kind regards,
Twinamatsiko Alex

Navi Radjou has
spent years studying "jugaad," also known as frugal innovation.
Pioneered by entrepreneurs in emerging markets who figured out how to get
spectacular value from limited resources, the practice has now caught on
globally.
Peppering his talk with a wealth of examples of human ingenuity at work, Radjou also shares three principles for how we can all do more with less.
