Near Huntsville, Ontario, Arrowhead Provincial Park has a 1.3 km long skating trail that loops through the forest. It's beautiful and a great escape during winter in Ontario. #DiscoverON #ExploreCanada

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?
Zero Waste Life. I enjoyed the inspirational moment that reminds us to lead positive lives and the "who hates who" "Canadiana" video humor. The Zero Waste Life video reminds us that we can all do better to limit our waste.
-- Chantale Doucette-Chalifoux, Swan City Rotary Club of Grand Prairie, District 5370
January 9 and 16. The video "Who hates who" reminded me of being on a campsite in Spain in 2003 and meeting an American couple who confessed that they often passed themselves off as Canadians. But that only worked when they weren't in their car as it was a Pontiac on California plates! Nice to have a refresher video on how to perform CPR and the extra precautions to take in these Covid times.
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Strong Navajo Woman. Very touching meeting. Both the music and the Navajo woman’s story touched my heart.
-- Lynne Ternosky, Rotary Club of D6330 Passport
January 10. Thanks for posting my photos. Hopefully, others will contribute some.
-- Sharon Blaker, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Melanie Yazzie. Melanie Yazzie discusses how she struggles to find the balance between her culture and her passion for non-traditional Navajo art. Melanie sheds light on how her journey now has a teacher has helped her share her cultural past while pursuing modern art, thus giving her a purpose without feeling guilty about doing the traditional Navajo art herself.
-- Michael Thomas, Rotary Club of Stony Plain, District 5370
January 13. Thank you for all of the work that goes into these meetings.
-- Doug Dyer, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

New members' corner
"Honorary" is one of the two types of membership a person may have in a Rotary club. This type of membership is the highest distinction a Rotary club can confer and is exercised only in exceptional cases to recognize an individual for unusual service and contributions to Rotary and society.
Honorary members cannot propose new members to the club, do not hold office and are exempt from attendance requirements and club dues.
Many distinguished heads of state, explorers, authors, musicians, astronauts and other public personalities have been honorary members of Rotary clubs, including King Gustaf of Sweden, King George VI of England, King Badouin of Belgium, King Hassan III of Morocco, Sir Winston Churchill, humanitarian Albert Schweitzer, Charles Lindbergh, composer Jean Sibelius, explorer Sir Edmund Hillary, Thor Heyerdahl, Thomas Edison, Walt Disney, Bob Hope, Dr. Albert Sabin, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and many of the presidents of the United States. Truly, those selected for honorary membership are those who have done much to further the ideals of Rotary.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR FELLOWSHIP
Most Rotarians are successful professional and business executives because they hear opportunities knock and take advantage of them. Once a week the opportunity for Rotary fellowship occurs at each club meeting, but not all members hear it knocking.
The weekly club meeting is a special privilege of Rotary membership. It provides the occasion to visit with fellow members, to meet visitors you have not known before, and to share your personal friendship with other members.
Fourth, members share the conversation around the table rather than merely eating in silence or talking privately to the person next to them. Fifth, Rotarians make a special point of trying to get acquainted with all members of the club by seeking out those they may not know.
When Rotarians follow these five easy steps, an entirely new oppor1tunity for fellowship knocks each week. Soon Rotarians realize that warm and personal friendship is the cornerstone of every great Rotary club.
