March Focus - Water & Sanitation


April Focus - Maternal & Child Health

In many parts of the world, mothers risk their lives giving birth and millions of children die each year from treatable, preventable causes.  Rotary makes high-quality health care available to vulnerable mothers and children so that they can live longer and grow stronger.

How Canadians confuse the world found and submitted by Rotarian Vicki
  • We measure outside temperature in Celsius and oven temperature in Fahrenheit, length in metres and our height in feet.
  • Cheese is weighed in kilograms but people are in pound.
  • We speak like Americans, spell like the Brits, and randomly throw in French words.

How Canadians Confuse the World Part Deux
  • If it’s a light snowfall, we measure it in centimetres; if it’s a big snowfall, feet.
  • We measure driving distance in hours instead of kilometres. How far is it from Calgary to Vancouver? Oh, about 11 hours.
  • We measure liquids in litres, unless it’s for a recipe. Then, it’s in cups.
  • Property is measured in hectares, but house size is by square footage.
  • Football fields are in yards; swimming pools are in metres.

February 16, Fellowship Event Happy birthday RECCO. So proud to be a member of this club!
-- Sharon Blaker, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

Fellowship event. Kevin Hilgers is a great speaker. It was nice to have him joining us.
-- Jean Michel Crepin, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

Fellowship event. What a great celebration of our 8th charter anniversary it was! Kevin Hilgers has developed into a great speaker. Enjoyed the Quiz that Tammy put together. Perhaps we should share it online and see if we get more reactions, even without prizes.
-- Elly Contreras, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

February 19 posted meeting. Jennifer Jones is certainly an engaging speaker. I also enjoyed the Dirty Dancing video, but somehow I was looking for the COVID head in the crowd.
