In today’s club meeting, Steve Fehr presented the “Freedom Adapted Scuba Program” that provides open water scuba training to Persons with developmental & physical disabilities. This brave community train for many hours/days in an in-door pool before going into open water (Lakes or oceans).

The club donates towards the program to access a therapy pool for this group. Steve’s work to support Persons with Disabilities is tremendous and it’s been our honor to partner with him.

In our continued reflection over our summer activities, we were honored to contribute towards the ‘s project of delivering a wheelchair accesible van for children located in the Ukrainian city of Zaporijjia, who are severely affected by the consequences of the war.

As we reflect on what an incredible summer we’ve had, we send special thanks to all the members and friends of the club that participated in our efforts and multiple sessions to develop our Strategic Plan for 2026-2029.

Rotary is a collaborative family & each of your contributions matters is what makes this process even richer.

We look forward to sharing the final copy by end of this year.

Today’s club meeting featured a special session to welcome Satoru Nishii our exchange student this year from Nagasaki, Japan.

Satoru is in Calgary for a period of one year and says he is loving and enjoying Calgary so far, and in his Craft Talk today, he says:
“living away from my family is teaching me confidence….. my goal coming here is to meet new people, learn how people from other countries think, and at the end of my year here, I hope I can look back & see that I’ve grown from meeting other people & the experiences I’ve had.”

This is the spirit that we promote within the Rotary family: building connections and sharing experiences across the world.

A few weeks ago, we celebrated a historic milestone in Rotary: the chartering of the Rotary Club of Mohkinstsis Urban Indigenous, the first Indigenous Rotary club in the world.

The charter ceremony, held on July 3, marked the culmination of more than a decade of collaboration, dialogue, and relationship-building between Rotary and Indigenous communities. It was an honor for our members including Gerry Darichuk and Steve Fehr who serves as Co-Chair of the Rotary District 5360 New Club Development Subcommittee, to be part of this meaningful occasion.

A special acknowledgment goes to Dan Doherty, whose dedication and leadership helped bring this vision to life. Now a member of the Rotary Club of Mohkinstsis Urban Indigenous, Dan’s commitment has been instrumental in this historic achievement.

The event included a touching moment when members of the new club presented a ceremonial blanket to Mary Helman, Rotary Zone 28 & 32 Director, in recognition of her participation in the charter celebration.

Congratulations to the Rotary Club of Mohkinstsis Urban Indigenous on this remarkable beginning. We look forward to the positive impact this club will have for generations to come.

The sun was out, so were we 😊

Last week, we held our annual “Passing of the Gavel” event where we celebrate & close our Rotary year and usher in a new one with a new Board, new energy and renewed commitment to community impact.

It goes without saying, that this is always perfect way to also kick-off Stampede celebrations.

Thank you to all our outgoing committee & new committee, and thanks to all our amazing club members - we look forward to a year of even greater impact.

Rotary is powered by people who consistently make a difference & this month we had the opportunity to celebrate one of them.

Congratulations to Doug Storey, who was recognized with a Paul Harris Fellowship during one of our recent club meetings.

The Paul Harris Fellowship is one of Rotary's most meaningful recognitions, honouring individuals whose commitment to service creates a lasting impact in their communities and beyond.

Thank you, Doug, for your dedication, leadership, and commitment to Service Above Self. We're proud to celebrate this well-deserved recognition with you.

This month, we were also honoured to join woods_homes as they celebrated 100 years of service in Bowness - a truly remarkable milestone.

For a century, Woods Homes has been supporting children, youth, families, and individuals through some of life's most challenging moments. Their dedication to creating safe, supportive, and inclusive spaces is an inspiring example of community in action.

Mental health remains one of the most complex challenges facing our communities today, and we are grateful for organizations like Woods Homes that continue to lead with compassion, innovation, and care.

Congratulations on 100 remarkable years of impact!

Halfway through the month and halfway through the year already!

We're proud to share a few highlights from June and some of the ways our club has been living out Rotary's commitment to service, connection, and community.

This month, we joined conversations around the "Connect Together" Initiative, championed by our District 5360.

The initiative focuses on building stronger relationships with communities that have been underrepresented both within and beyond Rotary across Southern Alberta. By listening, learning, and engaging with one another, we're helping create a more welcoming, inclusive, and connected future for everyone.

Because meaningful service starts with meaningful connections.
