Famous all across the land, this optical illusion in Moncton, New Brunswick, is no less awesome for knowing it is an illusion. Because of the rolling terrain and partially obscured horizon, vehicles in neutral gear appear to roll uphill!

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?   

Ursula Von der Leyen talks about Europe’s Green Deal. It is where Europe has an agreement with all countries within the continent become a carbon neutral by 2050. The cost savings passed on and generated would be an estimated 600 Billion dollars.
-- Michael Thomas, Rotary Club of Stony Plain, District 5370

12-03-2020. Enjoyed this meeting. Very engaging. Learned something more about Canada and loved the greeter message on December 3. It was fun and welcoming!
-- Sharon Blaker, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

Listening to Ursula Von der Leyen gave me a feeling of hope for the next generations.
-- Jean Michel Crepin, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

Detoxing Transportation. The update on detoxing transportation globally was amazing to me.
-- Lynne Ternosky, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

12-07-2020. Detoxifying: Hopefully the rest of the world will follow!! Loved seeing our students give the Four-Way Test!
